Funny word stuff

Wonderful idea, Sunflower; I love all forms of word play, especially the unintended ones. My favourite are "crash blossoms", where signs and news headlines shorten things in strangely ambiguous ways that conjure up surreal images. For example (taken from this webpage)...

• Prostitutes appeal to pope
• Kids make nutritious snacks
• Miners refuse to work after death
• Drunk gets nine months in violin case
• Astronaut takes blame for gas in space capsule
• Lack of brains hinders research

There's another nice crash blossom here too:
