Misread thread titles

How do medieval helicopters work?

They don’t. The village idiot sits in it, pedaling furiously, while the other peasants point and laugh.

It’s not a thread title, but in the same spirit as this thread:

I’m looking at the name of a company that makes a cleaning solvent my company uses. The name of that company is “Chemetall”. I keep seeing “Chemtrail”. (This solvent is used in the aerospace industry… :shushing_face:)

LOL, I had to move closer to my monitor to see that it WASN’T Chemtrail…

I keep reading it as “What are you at least good at?”, which is almost, but not quite, the opposite meaning of the real title.

Uploading salad.

Wish my phone could.:green_salad:

Aint it a Pap?

Nope, it’s one of them Covid swab thingies.

In the world of professional banking, white sandwich bread is…?

It’s generally accepted as a safe security, although without much growth potential.

Most Attractive Hobbits?

Frodo for sure.

I was thinking the most attractive Hobbes. Just about to post the attractive Hobbes in the AI image thread.

Anyone else dislike The Onion? Let’s talk

No, I like it very much; I think it’s an unparalleled satire site, though its writers are hard-pressed these days to write political satire that’s more outrageous or exaggerated than what’s actually happening these days.

There’s actually considerable growth potential if you forget about an unrefrigerated loaf, though probably not as much as in the date nut bread and cream cheese sandwich that sat in the back of my high school locker for several months.

How do you deal with accidents that you can’t understand?

I just let the insurance companies sort it all out.

Same here. The first time I saw the thread, I actually started typing a response based on that misreading, but realized my mistake before I posted. Then I thought about changing my answer to “reading comprehension” but just dropped it.

The cremation of the planets in our solar system

Sure, the closest three planets will eventually be swallowed when Sol becomes a red giant, but that leaves five planets that won’t be burned…

Your wife – luck or good management?

You better tell her it was luck…

“So, this is it, right? (Trump Announces He is Federalizing DC Police, and More)”

I swear I read that as “Fertilizing”…and that it still wouldn’t enough to turn the Republicans against him.

What percentage of American atheists are white?”

Yeah, I read athletes. I was so confused. :grimacing:

Why is Nevada so valuable?

It’s all the cash people lose at the casinos.

Most Attractive Hobbes?

Well, the philosopher was nasty, brutish, and short.

But the cartoon character was a distinguished-looking gentleman.
