Alpo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 There's a guy over on Smith & Wesson. He's putting together a book about gun values, and he's curious about new guns in bad shape. So he asked opinions about the value of a "new gun with a 50% finish". I read that as "new gun with a 50's finish". Before I opened it I was sitting there trying to figure out what a 50's finish was. On another board there's a thread titled, "Shooting in Buffalo New York". I read that as, "shooting buffalo in New York", and thought, "not for a long damn time they haven't".

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 On those occasions when it does happens, the miss-read is either hilarious compared to the original, or it takes on a completely new meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 That happens when you have a new car title, which is metric, and you're trying to use tools for an old car title, which is SAE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
