Misreading of the day

Misreading of the day

Wmm look at the headline of a blog entry somewhere which offered a quote from The Last Picture Show film which was "A person can't sneeze in this town without someone offering them a handkerchief" and misread it as "A person can't sneeze in this town without offering everyone else his handkerchief"

Vague facial similarities between actresses

Wmm suddenly realised the other day that there was a vague similarity between Shirley MacLaine when she was young and the actress Carey Mulligan. Wmm didn't want to find out once he noticed the similarity that  a good many other people over the past year have also noticed the similarity even though it is a vague similarity. Wmm does not want to be in a boat full of people who are sitting around recognising the similarity between Shirley MacLaine and Carey Mulligan, but he has and doesn't know what to do about it. There is no real way that Wmm could mistake one for the other but as one looks in photographs, the vague similarity is there, perhaps there it is being projected like a sharp javelin into the depths of the minds of the public on purpose so that they can think that Carey Mulligan is the next Shirley MacLaine or that Shirley MacLaine was the last generation's Carey Mulligan as if it were foreseen that she would be taking up acting all the time ever since her parents were twinkles in the eyes of her grandfathers. There is nowhere left to run!

Misreading of the day

Wmm misread the BBC news headling "US 'held meeting with Haqqanis'" as "US' bed meeting with Cannabis" 

He assumes that this would give them a chance to lie down and smoke weed as they pillow-talk it out.

 

 

 

 

Misreading of the day

1. Wmm misread the BBC headline "Obesity 'harms teen girls more" as "obscenity harems steals girls' money"

N.B. The other variation is "Obscenity harems need more girls" but if one were to ask exactly what they mean by girls, as in terms of age, well it often means a full grown woman, but the whole thing becomes a little too complicated for the misreading. But the fact that the Obscenity Harem manifested out of this with a variety of things that it might be doing with girls in whatever way becomes a greater point of focus/fracas.

2. Wmm misread the BBC news headline "Deadly protests in Yemen capital" as "Deadly protestants' Semin as capital"  

3. Wmm misread the BBC News headline "Clashes mar Rome anti-cuts rally" as "Mars Clashes with Rome's anticulturalists" while bearing the knowledge that Mars was the Roman god of War.

Misreading of the day

Wmm at a fleeting glance misread the two BBC headlines "NY protesters hail clean-up delay" and " Bangkok 'safe' as floods approach" together as "Hysteria at failure to clear up food display"

Misreading of the day

Wmm misread the BBC headline "Obama lays down gauntlet on jobs" as "Obama lays an egg cutlet on the Job"

 

Wmm supposes that the misreading was on the verge of suggesting that Obama was doing something other than walking over the dead body of Steve Jobs . Misreadings can suggest many many things.
