Read this sentence from a crime report I found in the Newport, RI fish-wrapper.......
April Dawn Peters, 31, of 2194 Grandview Way, in Cosby, as arrested Sept. 19, at 10:30 p.m.,
and charged with aggravated assault after she allegedly hit a man on his head at least five
times with a hammer that she was having sex with.
Her misplaced dependent clause does suggest a funny visual in my head, but I have to wonder,
how does somebody whose writing skills are that atrocious ever graduate from journalism school? And how is this person still employed?
very good post
ReplyDeleteI understand why she hit him. He demanded his hammer back and she wasn't finished with it yet.
ReplyDeleteHeh heh, apparently.
ReplyDeleteI have a female FB friend who remarked about this that, "hammer sex is vastly underrated". Yikes....I don't even want to know how she knows that.
