Some Tom Jones Charity Work: See If You Can Find The Typo In The Story (If It Was A Typo!)
Friday, June 6th, 2008For Tom’s birthday, tomorrow, we’re going to post a very special charity appeal from a special fan of his with whom we’ve been corresponding for several weeks. Of course, we hope you’ll be moved to help that cause and, to show you that we are following in Tom’s spirit, here’s a story about his charity work.
Each year for the last few years, Tom has traveled to Vancouver to perform at a charity gig — Jacqui Cohen’s Face The World Foundation Annual Gala. The 18th annual event was held June 2 between gigs in other Canadian cities. The photo is of Tom with Ms. Cohen. And, we apologize for this awful photo. That’s what was in the newspaper. Be sure to look for the typo (typographical error) in the story. Or, was it a typo? Freudian slip, perhaps? If you find it, please don’t post it. Let others discover it for themselves. Thanks.
It’s not unusual

It was time for Tom and Dom at socialite Jacqui Cohen’s 18th Annual Face The World Foundation Annual Gala.
The Army and Navy [store] heiress looked positively festive in a gorgeous ruffled orange gown as she escorted none other than Sir Tom Jones down the driveway and into her lavish Point Grey home. The 60s-something sex symbol, who is both a friend and Honorary Patron to the foundation, was dressed in a stunning black ensemble complete with a diamond studded silk tie.
The well-heeled and breast-dressed crowd sipped Dom Perignon champagne and mingled during the reception before heading in to dine on fabulous five-star service and food from David Aisenstat’s The Shore Club. Media personality Vicki Gabereau and musician Jim Byrnes served as the evening’s MCs. Later, Sir Tom took to the stage in person to entertain.
I’m not telling if any panties were thrown — but let’s just say — it’s not unusual.

Must have been alot of silicone at that party. As usual Tom looks incredible but, ladies, It’s Not Unusual for him to always look incredible

Moderators, thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation.

That author is sure a boob! I guess the “panty” remarks will follow Tj to his grave.

I wonder when TOM finds time to relax, but hey maybe performing is his relaxation
- Great news but the pic is scary

Yes, it sure seems panties are his trademark. A shame really… Though he does make me panty!

OK, All: As the late wit and poet Ogden Nash said, “Tarring and feathering is too good for people who make puns. They should be drawn and quoted.”

Will this one become a classic? — Tickets to see Tom Jones were over a hundred dollars each because of the Sir charge. (Please don’t throw tomatoes!)
