While I realize that the crime and the destruction of property are no laughing matters, your photo caption in last week’s Bristol Police Log indicating that a man disabled an ATM by “pinching” it gave me a much needed eye-watering laugh. With any lick, there will be more unintended misspellings in future issues.

Editor’s note: We got a sardonic chuckle when we saw this in the print edition, too. It was, of course, a typo; the gentleman was “punching” the ATM. We try not to have the kind of “lick” that the writer hopes for.
