In a small town police department, officers still wrote their reports by hand. The data was entered later by a computer technician into their database.

One theft report stated that a farmer had lost 2,025 pigs. Thinking that to be an error, the tech called the farmer directly.

"Is it true, sir, that you lost 2,025 pigs?" she asked.

"Yeth," lisped the farmer.

The technician thanked him and corrected the entry: "Subject lost 2 sows and 25 pigs."
