What's the funniest thing you've ever mis-read?
For example, I was reading poor ninjacolin’s name as “ninjacolon.” He had me wondering whether he really liked punctuation or if his ass kicks ass.
What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever mis-read as something else?

Btw, this question is approved by ninjacolin.
Checked to be sure I spelled it right!
The user @talljasperman.
I used to think it had to do something with ‘Sperm’ but when I checked out his profile I came to know it was tall… jasper…man. lol!
I know I’ve misread some others as well, but I can’t remember.
lol, I thought talljasperman was talisman-something something.. but I guess that’s not funny
When I was driving down the road, McDonald’s had an advertisement for the “Big ‘N Tasty” burger on their sign. I read it as “Big ‘N Nasty” and I almost died laughing.
I know quite a few people have read my new user name as me advertising some surgery.
I misread things in hilarious ways daily because I only wear my glasses when I’m driving. But once in NYC I had a couple of really good ones rather close together. I failed to see the i in a sign that read “The Recital Room” and nearby I misread “Rare Coins” as “Bare Loins.” It’s fairly clear where my mind was, I think. Whoops.
Not the funniest ever, but recently I misread this question. The OP edited the question after my post. I swear I thought it said what is your favorite soap opera.
@AmWiser Hehehe! That was my question :)
@KatetheGreat I know, and I still get a chuckle from it. I’m laughing now. Yes, I have a weird sense of humor!
@AmWiser I thought it was really funny too. I just thought of what it would be like if “The Young and the Restless” was actually an opera!
Well my dad, the biology teacher, regaled dozens of times that students misread “organism” as “orgasm” when reading aloud to a class full of 15-year-olds.
@sliceswiththings For about 3 years after I started reading porn (so… 11–14? ish?) I kept thinking orgasm and organism were homonyms. I knew they meant something totally different, but if you had asked me to say it out loud, I definitely would have said “she was still quaking with aftershocks of the organism”.
@sliceswiththings: my dad (not a biology teacher) was reading my 5th grade textbook with me when I was a kid and said orgasm instead of organism. It was hilarious but more awkward at the time!
Wait it’s colin? Oh…. I imagined a really detailed backstory behind :::that::: name.
For the longest time I thought Cock a leeky referred to an older gentleman with bladder problems. Turns out it’s a Scottish soup dish.
When I was working as a receptionist in a doctors office, a man called in saying that he had a rash on his arm, and pus was oozing out of it. The clinic note I typed said “pussy arm rash”.
@queenie Yes, yes they did. In fact, they were kind enough to pass it around the office of 72 people that day…
@MyNewtBoobs oh dear! Lol! Did your boss come to know about it?
@queenie Yup. She found it funny, I wasn’t in any trouble. Just humiliating.
