the title of the resume is Diamon in the rough. it will at least make people laugh and read a resume they would otherwise pass over.

No one will read it, I promise.
Giving it a title is really amateurish.
If you've ever sorted through a pile of resumes, the ones you stop and read are ones that are formatted well. They have lots of whitespace, no paragraphs, no gimmicks, no fancy fonts, and are printed with a good printer on nice paper.

what a goofball move

There are probably thousands of other resumes on there with unintentional mistakes like the one you describe, probably worse ones than that. No one will even give it a chance.

yeah - as a person who has to look through resumes - typos aren't examined - I just think they are idiots who cant spell / use spell check- and keep going -
Much like the internet - humor and wit are hard to express on a resume, - i find that when making a resume, this is the last place to be creative. You want accuracy, and class - simple clean fonts and ease on the readers eyes. Trying to be funny on a resume is not funny at all. Now thats irony.

OoD has painted a beautiful picture here. I review resume's daily. Although humour is a good thing, and it may attract some attention, they may think you are a bit too much of a joker. Hey, wait and see for a result. Who knows!? Someone may think highly of it.
However, in my opinion, if you start out something INTENTIONALLY trying to fail, the outcome is already predetermined.
