Misreading a headline...

As part of my work I see Press Association sports news headlines. I've just seen this one...

"Doornbos targets F1 drive"

Trouble is, I keep reading this as

"Doornob targets F1 drive"

Dyslexia lures!

My dad runs a shopfitting firm. I have some of their tshirts and I've never seen ANYBODY who doesn't come up to me and say "does that say shoplifting?!?" Its hilarious

20 years ago, i used to work at a company installing cctv.

just about every time we installed a monitor, SOMEONE had to say either

'does it get bbc2'

or

'can i get the racing on that'.

polite chuckles back every time..... whilst thinking 'like, ive never heard that before'.


good days actually, best job I ever had.

Bit like the people that walk past when your washing/polishing the car and say

"You can do mine next!"

Bugger off and do it yourself you lazy git

Latest issue of Viz Top Top:

Car owners. Dissuade humourous neighbours from saying "you can do mine next" when you're cleaning your car by keeping a hammer in your pocket and starting to batter your windscreen when you see then approaching.





Your sort make me sick
