Subtle editor dig

Tom Mangan is a copy editor at the San Jose Mercury and writes his blog, Prints the Chaff, mainly for other newspaper copy editors. He posts today:

My head is full of phlegm this morning and I can't make my brain work ... Be back tomorrow or the next day for sure. (Note this will not stop me from going to work, because I won't need my brain there, just my reflexes).

Snicker...
