It's very easy to get this switched round, like the old (>50 years old!) advert in the "For Sale" column of a local paper: "Bath for a baby with a zinc bottom."But the best ones I ever came across were two misprints and an unfortunate phrase in three successive issues of a local weekly paper sold in a farming district.
"For Sale - second-hand farm wench, slightly rusty and needs oiling, otherwise in good condition. Ring or call Mr S Cooke ..."
"Correction. There was an error in the Classified Ads. colum of this paper last week. Mr Cooke has a perfectly good farm winch for sale. We apologise for any embarrassment cause to Mr Cooke and his love-in housekeeper, Mrs Robinson."
"Announcement. Don't bother calling about the winch, I've smashed it up. Don't bother ringing, I've had the 'phone taken out. Mrs Robinson is under notice, but until I can find another housekeeper, she is carrying on with me."
That's what I understood you to mean!
