Ooh that sounds like an interesting conversation, wish I'd been there for that.......

I read this on facebook: "removed a large amount of weeds from a garden this evening"

This is what I saw at first: "received a large amount of weed"

Thinking about Prodigy's big news I then went on to read "Perfectly Fragile" as "Prodigy Defiled"

Yes, I secretly wrote that poem about Prodigy months ago, then had my wicked way with her. The baby's mine

Oooh, Skiffy, congratulations on becoming a father!

During a lecture on traditions of incorporating myths into a largely Christian culture, our prof wrote 'moreel-allegorisch' on the whiteboard. (That would be 'morally-allegorical'.) You'll never, ever guess what I read there.

Oh I have absolutely no idea... :whistling:

I just misheard the lyrics of a song... It's "keep movin' if you want to know what Rockefeller groove is..." Guess what I heard? "Keep movin' if you want to know the Rockefeller boobies..." *sigh* Desperate, much?

While I was in England, I constantly misread signs which said "TO LET" as "TOILET". At the beginning, I always wondered why there were so many huge signs for that all around town

Haha, I was always confused by that as a kid too. I just thought there were a lot more public toilets around. (It does look a lot like all the "I"s fell off the signs)

I just misread the title of my own thread as "MISLEADING things".

I've done the exact same thing the last couple of times I saw it... before my brain went: wait... wasn't there a thread very like it called... oh... wait... this is it...

Don't worry, I tend to misread that title all the time lately... Like I said at chat, my mind has a mind of its own... apparently.

I just misread the description of the "Women Using Hankies" thread. Instead of "an Increasingly Rare Phenomenon" I read it as "an Increasingly Rare Pokemon". Hehe, what a dork.

[Quills & Wells]

I have laughed so hard reading this thread that my dog is looking concerned

I misread things all the time, but the only instance I can think of is one from this morning. I read "stain the wood" as "saint the wood"

How are you supposed to saint wood?

[Chanel_no5]

Hahaha, saint wood!!!

Okay, this isn't a misreading, or even a mishearing, but it was an epic mistake! My political colleagues and I adjourned during a meeting, went outside to discuss an issue more properly before making the decision. When we got back, the opposition smiled smugly and said to the chairman:

"You should've turned your mic off".

That. Is. So. Wrong.

Luckily, it wasn't a big deal and nothing too secret we talked about, but still. OMG.

This is not a misreading or a mishearing either, but possibly the best Freudian tongue slip I've ever heard:

My brother to a male friend: "Could you give me some cockporn?"

...Or "popcorn", as they are usually called.

OH MY GOD I'm laughing so hard tears are just POURING!! That was THE best tongue slip EVER!!!

I was going through the tv guide this morning and that infomercial about the Food Lover's Fat Loss diet was on. Only, I read it as "Food Lover's Eat Lost" That made me think people were eating the television show Lost I had to do a double take to get my mind straightened out

Edit:

cockporn??! That is the best tongue slip I have ever heard!! I'm now laughing so hard it hurts and I cannot stop. That's just epic!

I *know* I've misread a couple of things recently but every time I go into this thread to post about it, I forget again.

But... I've remembered one. After mistyping it myself countless times, I've managed to misread 'snuggle' as 'snuffle' Both are rather nice though. *flees*

A poster on the London Underground, advertising a book by Caitlin Moran (a feminist writer and columnist, just to add to the irony ), entitled 'How to be a woman'. Misread by me as 'How to bed a woman'! ;)

Ooh, sounds like a book in my taste!!

[bensonman]

I got a few

In the Chinese carry out , I thought Hunan said Human...LOL

When I was little, I used to think the signs that said "NO LOITERING" said "NO LOTTERY"

and there's a spice company near my neighborhood called Fuch's... y'all already know what I thought it said !!!!

LMBO !!!

[Marshmallow Peep]

I was looking at the food in a vending machine and I thought the bag of peanuts said "salad" instead of "salted"

Hahaha...my boyfriend is replaying Final Fantasy 4. There are these two characters who are mages, and they're also twins, and they can do something called "twincast" (twins casting magic together). Except he keeps reading it as "twincest" (incest involving twins, for those who don't know).

OMG, when you typed twincast I read it as twincest!! XD

[VoOs]

I just "misread" this sign, seen from the corner of my eye -

- as Trollface.

Internet has ruined me.
