Yesterday I saw a headline in the New York Times that said "Chilean Priest Found Guilty of Abusing Minors." My initial thought was "He abused those Chilean miners that were trapped? Weren't they underground? This seems odd and terrible." Then I realized it was minors, not miners. Whoopsies!
Editing competition over.
My Tax casebook contains the phrase, "In an O. Henry ending..." Who writes a casebook like that? I like it. It keeps you on your toes.
i did the same thing, but then laughed at the potential of that headline. i lurves me some wordplay.
