A headline in today's paper was "Shipman stole victim's jewellery".
Reading quickly on the train, I initially read this as "Shipman stole victim's jelly", which briefly gave me a quite unexpected perspective on the motivations of a serial killer.
On a similar note, a couple of weeks a go, the Torygraph had the headline 'Glorifying Terror to be Outlawed' next to a picture of Jack Nicklaus, which I obviously read as 'Golfing Terror to be Outlawed' and was moved to wonder what the poor chap had done.
