The Horrors Of Mispronunciation, Part 3
(I’m a librarian. I am walking through the children’s section and see a boy of around 12, browsing through ghost stories. He picks up a book, opens it, and immediately drops it back on the shelf.)
Boy: “Ooh! That book’s too scary!”
Me: “What book is it?”
Boy: “Ghosts of Prostitutes.”
Me: “What?!”
(I walk over and pick up the book. It is titled “Ghosts and Poltergeists”.)
