Maybe it's just me, but ...
... any time I see an article about Neil Young's new music system, PonoMusic, I read it wrong, and think, "PornoMusic? Why on earth did he name it PornoMusic?"
Bow chicka wow wow, baby.
Similarly, I kept hearing ads for something called "Salonpas" on the radio, and assumed it was some kind of mani/pedi treatment for pets - Salon PAWS. Durrrrr.
And now that I think about it, I actually have a long history of these kinds of f*ckups. I remember when I was a little kid, and learned (God only knows where) the term pubic hair, except I read it as "public hair", and I was actually indignant, all, "Why on earth do they call it PUBLIC hair? It's anything BUT public!"
Yeah, I am not making these up. All those years I laughed at the Roseanne Roseannadanna skits on SNL, never realizing that I *was* Roseanne Roseannadanna.
*sigh*

Gilda Radner said she based her Emily Litella character ("Oh. Never mind!") on a housekeeper her family had when she was growing up.
Oh my gosh, Ginny, you're right! It was Emily Litella I was thinking of!
