At uni, a teacher of mine once wrote on the blackboard:

Paris in the
the spring

and then had a bunch of people read it out loud. I didn't get to read it out but the entire time this was going on I was sitting there, questioning my sanity because none of the people chosen to read seemed to notice the second "the".

That said, I've had a few glasses so fuck you.
