A news headline I read this morning: "Slow mend for valley hoes" OH NO, I cried in despair for the poor working gal with disheveled hair! Then to my wondering unfocused eyes, I soon realized it actually read: "Slow mend for valley woes." Oops, different job category, as it was about high-paid techies out of work, and this 'other' category never seems to have a job shortage problem. LOL, do you ever mis-read in the AM when you haven't had your morning java jumpstart? [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (12-13-2003 11:08 AM).] |

This got me chuckling, and validated my morning mantra: coooooffeeeeeee. Whoever gets up first has to make it, and we make it strong enough to strip varnish. It's less of a pick-me-up and more like a grab-around-the-throat-like-Vadar-and-shake-like-Serenity's-terrier-on-a-rawhide-bone. If your eyes don't open a bit after you realize what you just drank...well, that's one litmus test for death, I reckon. |

"grab-around-the-throat-like-Vadar-and-shake-like-Serenity's-terrier-on-a-rawhide-bone" nodding and smiling here...yep. I'm having a cup o varnish remover right now, while sitting here wearing two different slippers as Duncan a.k.a. has struck again. *note to self* No more "kitty" slippers for Karen--can't tell if the dog hates 'em or loves 'em but the result is the same. and Midnite? There's a local warehouse here by the name of Flick Supply Co. which reads quite as something else when seen from the left hand angle...  |

Duncan? Not surprised--more like appalled at the visual I have of *ahem* "things" after noting the state of my slippers...   But let's find some other similarities, shall we? Loves a tummy rub. --okay, I'll buy that. Barks helpfully when the big dog barks, but means business, dammit! --heh heh? likes to sleep on my satin robe when he's ousted from my pillow --hmmm...grin. Okay. Benefit of the doubt, on that'n. licks himself? --duncan? DO TELL. (sorry for this interruption, Kacy, but I thought you might be curious too!) |

Um...blush, duncan? I forgot to mention... My other dog seems to be a trans-species lesbian. (She likes kitties too--girl kitties.)  Oh, the things that have gone on in my kitchen! |

A wonderful little poem that makes a good point. Funny how such "mistakes" can alert us to ideas like the one you've presented here. 2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2 |

Tee-hee, this was about the funniest thread I have read in a long time.. ^^ Thanks Midnitesun.. Yeah, I have a habit of misreading things, even when it's NOT early in the morning, or really late at night.. Maybe it's coz I don't drink coffee.. Hmm.. =P And you guys, geez.. I might just hide my slippers.. AND my cats.. Bless your cotten sockies, you poetic maniacs. ^_^ |

thought I'd bring this one back to life...just found it and I relate so much to it...when I was a kid, I misread a sign in our local toystore..."Shoplifters will be PERSECUTED"...to this day I have a phobia about picking up anything in a store unless I intend on buying it...I'd rather not be persecuted, thank you  It was years before I became aware of the true reading of that sign. |
