I saw a sign on the subway yesterday advertising continuing education classes. The headline read:
Get Trained.
Get Hired.
The sign was positioned to be read by seated passengers. From my standing position, I didn’t have an unobstructed view of the top line. A light fixture blocked all but the very bottom of the letters.
I had a clearer view of the bottom row, but a vertical pole blocked the middle of the message. I couldn’t see the ‘H’ or the ‘T’.
Presented with this incomplete jumble of letters and partial letters, my mind read:
Get Framed.
Get Fired.
Perhaps I’ve been watching too much television.
