Subject: RE: BS: Is Your Grammar Up To Date?
One of my long-time favourites is from a milk carton which said "Lift flap press and tear" (there was no punctuation.) Almost every word can be a noun or verb, and most can be adjectives as well. You can easily imagine a metal pressing machine that makes flaps for lifts (elevators), and end up with a rather large number of vaguely plausible interpretations.
