Are ferry delays a cause of incontinence?

Here’s an item worthy of a chuckle – at the expense of the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Herald columnist Kristi O’Harran reported it today.

Washington State Ferries could have been in a rush when this service alert went out by e-mail at 4:40 p.m. Friday, about the Edmonds and Kingston route: “Both vessels are running 15 to 20 minutes behind schedule. We apologize for any incontinence this may cause you.”

They probably meant “inconvenience.” We all know how messy it can be to get in a rush.
