Did you ever see something out of the corner of your eye and end up completely off target?
^^ Up There ^^ is that Orchard Bank Credit ad.
I thought the "Politically Active" Posters might enjoy knowing that you've got me *subconsciously* thinking.
I guess I do see those ads up there.
One problem:
"Get Your Credit Back in Shape" became
"Get Your Condit Back in Shape"
Anyone else care to share their "But I thought it said..."??

shhhhhh!!!!!
Not so Loud, Krafty!
BTW, the "Suspended Member" thing has been conjuring up a few strange images ever since it was mentioned in another thread...
Care to share any "misinterpretations"?
C'Mon and admit a few!

Zoomin I'd love to share I know there have been some strange things seen or heard incorrectly that were really funny. But, not recently enough for me to remember. I hope some others have funny incidents.

Okie Doke.
I'm the only moron today.
"Don't Drink and Drive".
I was about six years old the first time I heard it.
Using simple first grade logic, it made sense.
When you tip the glass to take a sip, it blocks your vision and you have to take your eyes off the road.
Therefore, don't drink and drive.
Or So I thought....
helloooooooo???
No one else???

Zoomin: Yes, it has happened to me. More than once.
The MADDENING thing is: that I can't remember exactly what the mistakes were!

Someone...
Anyone...
Hellooooo???

Zoomin: I've been saying since I was in my 20s that I must suffer from early Alzheimers! Things slip my mind. But what really bugs me is that often when I'm talking I can't say the word I want to say.  I can see it in my mind, but just can't get it to my lips!

I can't think of an "I thought it said" but I did have an "I thought I wrote" a few years ago. I've told it here before but here goes...
I wrote an article about the IRS for a newsletter and instead of saying that the taxpayer had larger assets than his income allowed I said that the taxpayer had larger asses than his income allowed... Luckily I caught it before it went to print. 
Not paranoid anywhere else but here!

I have one, I have one... It just happened tonight so I can remember it.
My husband and I were watching NYPD Blue.
Sipawitz tells a Perp who is dumber than a box of rocks that they will lure another Perp out of his appt. with the smell of "free dope"!
My husband looks at me and asks, "Why would they use Flea Soap?"

Mybidd, that reminded me of one. I worked as the secretary for the Plant Manager of a very large firm. I was typing a report for him in chronological order of some terrible cicumstances that might cost the company millions of dollars in contract money.
Our company had really caused some severe problems for one of our largest accounts. As I was deeper into the report and typing til my fingers were falling off...I hear thru the earphones of the dictaphone, "At this point in time XXXX started to castrate us....mmm ^#@*8GBh_(3kf fingers went every which way and I am trying not to laugh like crazy...he meant castigate!! Oh well, maybe he didn't!

LOL, another good one. Last night we were watching Star Trek The Wrath of Khan and I noticed my son (12 years) looked a little uncomfortable at one point. When I asked him what was wrong he said, "How come that guy (Khan) keeps calling that guy Jack-off? (checkov)
I sputtered around for a minute but I got through it.

When I was real young (5-6) I watched old movies on TV. I seem to remember a lot of detective and mystery movies. It seemed like in every show the body was never shown, but it always had to be examined. "Where's the body?" "The body is in the back room." At this point the detectives or hero would disappear from sight to 'look at the body.' I thought your body was your naked butt. I had concluded that when a person dies others will go look at his body, only a dead person would be willing to let strangers see that. I always thought they were in the back room lifting the dead woman's skirt, or pulling the dead man's pants down to see his body.
I'm lucky I didn't become a necrophiliac with such an errant imagination, although one girlfriend did seem to do her best to mimic that condition. Personally I wouldn't be caught dead with a necrophiliac.

OOH! OOH!! I GOT ONE!
It happened this evening, Zoomin!
I was out with a friend this evening who lives near Marina del Rey. After dinner we were on our way to a play when I happened to notice a building we were driving toward. said, "Hey, I didn't know you had a Marie Callendar's near your house!"
My friend looked puzzled & said that she didn't. I pointed at the building we were passing...only to discover that the sign didn't say "Marie Callendar." What is actually said was "Marina Connection."
What really astounds me about the whole matter is that I actually remembered to relate the incident on your thread.
I feel very proud of myself...

Way to go, Bunnicula!
Dincha feel silly?
teehee! I'm proud you remembered it, too!
okay, here's another childhood one:
Picnics at Jones Beach were great,
the only problem was that my friend Michael told me that if we didn't wait 20 minutes after eating,
we would get "crabs" if we went into the ocean...
(clean your mind)
(6 yo interpretation:the crabs would bite your toes)
(No, no one told him we would get Crabs, his Mom had said "cramps"
*anyone else??*

When my brother was around 4 years old he came to me sobbing that "Tommy" had hurt his feelings! He seemed way too upset for hurt feelings, finally got him calmed down enough to find that "Tommy" had accidently closed his fingers in a drawer! His little fingers were red...so I did something to make them feel better but he was still upset about getting his feelings hurt!
In his mind, when we tried to tell him about being kind to another child, you wouldn't want to hurt their feelings he always thought they were your fingers!!(makes sense you feel with your fingers) I thought that was soo cute! He was 7 years younger than me and I miss him sooo much.
