SYNTACTIC AMBIGUITY 5 and 6

Michael Edwards

                                          

 

Distinctly displayed:

‘Fire Door Keep Closed At All Times’

How do we get out?

 

The sign said: ‘Wet Floor’

He drank two pints of iced beer

He obeyed the sign.

    Pedantry rules. Good fun writes.

    • Michael Edwards

      I get a perverse sense of fun in being pedantic much to the family's annoyance.

      • Goldfinch60

        So do I. Pedants of the world unite.
