Doubletake: Best Endowed Organ

Thanks to Jay Leno for alerting me to this item on his weekly "Headlines" segment on Monday's Tonight Show. I had to look it up to see for myself. Seeing is believing.

Here is the portion of the "headline" that Jay showed:
Best Endowed Organ Scholarship
Here is the full headline from the source, the faculty and staff newsletter of Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas:
The Carl J. Best Endowed Organ Scholarship
The article explains:
The Carl J. Best Endowed Organ Scholarship has been established in loving memory of the late HSU School of Music faculty member by his wife, Mrs. Gladys E. Browning Best and immediate family members.
It does, however, go on to say:
This scholarship is established in loving memory of the late Mr. Best’s passion for the organ and is intended to serve students seeking accomplishment and excellence on the instrument. [Italics added.]
Arched eyebrows are optional.
