I would like to think that my habit of misreading signage has some relation to the childhood practice of introducing mistakes when reading aloud to enliven classroom texts. My signage misreadings result not from prankishness but from willful guessing at a distance. Today, on the road:
MAY YOUR NEW YEARAnd:
BE FILLED WITH BLOOD
OVERHEAD BOOKSMore misreadings
DEPRESSANTS, FREE WIFE
[For the first sign, outside a church, read GOOD. For the second, outside a business, DOORS.]
