Have you ever read a sentence and taken out of context, is so completely odd and bizarre that you can’t really believe what you read? Or better still, have you ever written something rather odd and stopped to think, “I cannot believe I just wrote that down!” In an email earlier today from **tatertot** , I read the sentence > [@](#): > > No, I had put a pair of purple lace tights on my head and tied the dildo to my head with the legs. I could pull on the dangling legs of the tights to make the dildo dance. Now, even knowing the context of this one, I still had to stop and say, “You know, I never thought I would ever read a sentence like that!” Now, it’s your turn. Share! ---

Maybe this should just be about **tater** quotes we find to be odd! I’m sure plenty of people have some! ---

I’m constantly reading things quickly(and wrongly). I can’t think of any specifically, but I might read “we must have rapped all night” as “we must have raped all night.” I think “wha…?” and then re-read it and giggle. ---

I dunno if they count, but a number of things that come out of MY mouth as a result of being a mother are bizarre. “Don’t hit people with Superman.” That one’s still my favorite. ---

My friends and I have a mailing list we use to keep in touch. I and a nother girl go through the messages at the end of the year and take the best comments out of context and try to use them in a story. It is hilarious. A personal favorite quote of mine: > [@](#): > > Oh, but you predicted levitating a rubber chicken using the Jedi-mind trick in order to distract me sexually? ---

I was doing payroll data entry last week, and someone had written a notation for one employee “Terminated. No autopsy.” which on closer reading turned out to be “Terminated. No autopay.” Two different things, let me tell you 😃 (I am also the worst lyric-understanding person in the world. It entertains my SO to no end to listen to me singing along with songs.) ---

Once, many years ago, I was sitting in my bedroom, when I heard my mother coming up the stairs behind our German Shepherd. To this day, she cannot explain what possessed her to say “Woofers and away, oh woof away.” We still laugh about it. 😃 ---

How about this exchange between a co-worker and I earlier today: **Me: (emphatic)“I want to marry you!” Him: (surprised)"All this over a blue pumpkin?"** It’s a long story . . . I wish I could find the link, but I once happened upon the webpage of a guy who kept track of the weirdest sentences and exchanges that came up in his and his friends’ conversations over the course of a year. It evolved into kind of a hobby for him, evidently. The result was pretty funny reading, even not knowing what spawned any of it. ---

In college I was pouring a beer and a young lady said “if you tip it to the side you won’t get any head.” I laughed and poured it straight down into the glass. I still didn’t get any. Some girls are such teases. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-that-say-what-i-think-it-does/53335.md?page=2)
