Misread Sign

While, in fast-food restaurant, I misread the following sign:

“Curly fries are friend magnets.”

I really thought for an instant that the sentence went as below.

“Curly fries are fried magnets.”

So that’s why I keep bumping into iron. On the plus side, I won’t need to take iron supplements. Oh, and people are strangely drawn to me.

Misread News Item #2, The Earth

I misread the following news title today:

“Earth Has Tilted 31.5 Inches. That Shouldn’t Happen.”
Popular Mechanics, July 13, 2023

I really thought for an instant that the sentence went as below. I was quite worried for a bit. Wouldn’t climates and weather patterns be affected Alaska could become the new North Pole. The new one, Alaska, would never melt from global warming. Santa Claus wouldn’t have to worry about his workshop falling into the ocean. Besides, Santa would become American. USA! USA!
