Awesome editorial errors

...a year later a tuber nearly killed my mother...

Potato in the tailpipe?

The ships had retuned a few weeks before the wedding

Musical ships?

I read one today with : "The dance floor shook with the thunderous base." and
He explored her tender crevasse".

The base of an active volcano, perhaps? Disco Inferno!!!


Also, that must've been a large woman.

{He} backed the Jeep off the trailer. It had a wench on the front.

Probably had bugs in her teeth from riding in the open like that.

There was load music coming form the flat opposite

Umm, a soundtrack for filling the dishwasher, perhaps?

 

[Weird Harold]

He estimates three weeks, with a cravat that it may take a bit longer;

Apparently, wearing a tie slows down the work.

 

[Weird Harold]

You are going to feel like such a food by in the morning, ...

Maybe like a cream-filled pastry?

 

[Weird Harold]

He seemed slightly ill at east

No problems with North, West, or South, though.

From the time she moved in with him, she began a model wife.

Ms Frankenstein apparently learned monster-building from the grandfather.

That way he could try things out on the model, so she could see if she was interested.

Repeating his movements on her other legs

How many did she have?!

 

[Weird Harold]

Draught, flood, blizzard, fire, or illness could wipe out an entire tribe in a season

Those cold breezes around windows can be killers.

Adam's legs had gone ridged

Sooo, he was a shapeshifter, partially transforming? Or was this some bizarre disease?

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

Repeating his movements on her other legs

Genetic material added, from a spider ?

 

[Weird Harold]

...though they were too gentile to remark it.

Non-jews are politer? Or just shy?

 

[Weird Harold]

...at home in their pajamas while reeking havoc.

Havoc has a distinctive smell?

Your toast Mister, you may not know it but your toast.

From post #49 above.

Of course, it's a formal dinner and he is due to propose the health of Her Majesty. The tradition is that the most junior officer present proposes the toast to The Queen. He might not know that he IS the most junior.

Some of mine:

He came back wrapped only in a bathroom.

Another, in the height of a sex scene:

The hero suddenly changes from addressing Mary to talking to Fiona - and Mary doesn't kick him out of bed!

Geographical error in Christmas on Duty:

I originally intended the couple to head from London to a large camping and caravan site really named 'Sandy Balls' in the New Forest. In the last edit I decided that Sandy Balls would probably be closed at Christmas so I sent them to a country hotel near Tunbridge Wells in Kent. But when they got into his car they drove to the New Forest - the wrong direction!

Wrong equipment in Cleaner Christmas:

I referred to an argument between friends about a movie they had seen together. She saw it again on DVD and agreed that it wasn't as good as she had thought. The problem? The story was set in the 1960s. DVDs didn't exist. I had to let her see it again on TV.

She observed the verdant, rampant growth between Mariella's legs ...

If it's green (verdant) she probably wouldn't want to play with it.

 

[Weird Harold]

I put the long guns in the molded to fit leather scarab on both sides

Beetles make great saddle-scabbards for rifles.

These are very funny.

Some of these, I wouldn't have noticed as I read them, not so much because I wouldn't know the difference, but because of not really paying attention when I read.

 

[Weird Harold]

These are very funny.

That's probably because posting anything except the real rib-ticklers would entail spending most of the day posting editorial errors.

I agree with you. Errors by themselves may not be very funny, but when an error changes the meaning of a sentence, that is where it gets odd and possibly funny.

Looks like a war zone. Cops with raffles

Good thing they weren't armed with tickets to the policeman's ball. Those would have been useless.

Oh, how I wish that said ruffles. Cops decked out in ruffles, or armed with Ruffles potato chips would both be such fun images.

Both! Someone in Lays' advertising department needs to get right on this.
