in the Prince song 'when doves cry', i heard 'and the most tricherious roses'. i thought he was giving his girlfriend poisoned flowers, when he was really saying 'animals strike curious poses'. the truth hit me in class during a final exam. my classmates were none to happy to hear me singing aloud...
