I must be defective in some way

At first glance, when I saw the headline "Teachers don't mind pudding on a show to help pay for prom" I read it as "Teachers don't mind pudding on a show to help pay for PORN". That mistake certainly made me look twice at the article.

Seriously, though, with the huge teacher sex scandal in Tennessee, is it really appropriate for teachers to wrestle in chocolate pudding?

Sheesh, maybe I'm getting too prissy in my old age.

ha ha! that's a strange, but interesting, way of misreading the title! it reminds me of an article back home that my dad was reading. the title was "girl gets shot at LPGA while her terminally ill mother looks on." girl got shot? scary stuff! i guess they meant she got A shot (a chance) at playing in the Lady's Golf Tournament while her mother was there, not that she was actually SHOT :). We were very confused!

Lol, see, that is the problem with headlines. Me, I just have a dirty mind, apparently. ;)
