Height of Miscommunication and it's COST............
A man wanted to celebrate his wife's Birthday by throwing a party.
So he called a baker and ordered a birthday cake.
The salesman asked him on the phone what message he wanted put on the cake.
He thought for a moment and said, put "getting older but you are
getting better".
The salesman asked "how do you want me to put it?"
The man said
'Well...put "You are getting older" at the top
and "but you are getting better" at the bottom.'
When the cake was unveiled at the party all the guests were aghast at
the message on the cake.
It read: "You are getting older at the top, but you are getting better
at the bottom"
Moral of the Story:
1. Double proof- read everything before you send.
2. Don't trust others to write it correctly for you.
3. Don't order cakes by telephone
