Client: “Please print the entire web site so that we can proof it.”
Me: “Um, ok, it’s dynamic content using the database you provided”.
Client: “So you can print it up then, right?”

Weeks later, I get the call that everything matched up perfectly and they were happy. When I asked what they proofed against the client responded “The web site, of course.” I just wonder how long it took for the proofreader to clue in…
