Until I was about fourteen, I used to routinely mix up the words "prostrate" and "prostate." Whenever I listened to "Closer to Fine" by the Indigo Girls (which was, and still is, one of my favourite songs), I always wondered why they sang "I spent four years 'prostate' to the higher mind, got my paper, and I was free!"; because I knew that "prostate" was a gland in a guy's butt (or something). So, for the LONGEST time, I believed that the Indigo Girls were singing about guys' butt glands.
