Reading "Ooopsies" - reading a word(s?) wrong...

This happens to me on occasion, I guess, when I'm extra tired, or maybe a bit preoccupied.

I don't actually see the word wrong but somehow I "think" it wrong in my head. Like this (and in this case as a NYC'r?!) ...

Just read thread title...

"Florida Faces Federal Lawsuit Over Signature Rules for New Voters"

as ...

"Florida Faces Federal Lawsuit Over Signature Rules for New Yorkers"

I was, like.... what?... WHAT?!! (how is that even possible)
Then I realized I "read" it wrong.

So if you have one that's funny, or your immediate reaction is funny please share it with us.
We need all the laughs we can get. 👍 Tia

I misread the same thread header exactly as you misread it. Strange coincidence.

maybe for me it's vaguely unconsciously tied into DeSatan sending immigrants to NYC.

Marge Taylor Greene pronounces the word "cabal" as cable. And of course there's her version of petri dish — "peach tree dish" — and then there's her "gazpacho police" instead of nazi Gestapo.

Unn-unmph. Soup's on.

What a moron. And such a big mouth, always showing off her ignorance.
