Is that how you make a lady do a slow burn?

English is a very complex language, even for those who practice it daily! I doubt that the supply of whacky headlines will evaporate anytime soon.

That is a classic example of a headline that is really innocent, unless you read it wrong. The complexity of the english language is to blame, but it sure makes for some amusing interpretations!
