Funny misreads.

Post Reply New Topic

I misread text all the time. Sometimes it really amuses me. I just misread 'destiny of souls' as 'dentistry of souls'. Document any of your own funny misreads here.

Every time I see the word "spoken" I think it's "Spokane."

I tend to misread a "Catholic Charities" sign near my home as "Catholic Charlies."

Then there's bad juxaposition in signs that aren't supposed to be related:

"We have diesel" (meaning that they sell diesel truck fuel) directly underneath a sign advertising "hot Cajun shrimp."

"Help the mentally handicapped" above a sign saying "Knights of Columbus." Saw that one on a guy taking collections during a Knights of Columbus fundraiser.

Can't recall any mis-reads at the moment, but I recall a couple of mis-hearing of commercials.

One was for a Folger's coffee slogan "I decaffeinated my husband!" I misheard as "I decapitated my husband!"

Also mistaken some gum commercial of "Who wants gum?" with "Who wants to jump?" while family of tourists was conveniently located at the top of a lighthouse.

Every time I see the words, king or kings, I think it's Kinks, with a capital K.

I do mishear a lot. One of my friends misreads; I think it's because his mind is faster than his eyes/mouth. It's always funny to hear him read out loud. I enjoy it. I would post here once I can think of any examples.

The way that I misread kiss is also quite funny.

Whenever I see "Organic Milk" I always misread it as "Orgasmic Milk"

Hahaha

"It fell butter immediatly" instead of "he felt better immediatly".

I once ran a red light when I was passing a Golden Corral and it had a sign up that said "try our black angus steak" and I didn't see the letter "g" at first.

I usually misread "quid" as "squid".
