Saw these on msn (images are clickable).

My favorite is British Petroleum's admonishment to us about our responsibility for spills resulting from us not paying attention.

(Not sure that I understand the pierced bumper pic.)

Maybe this is a reference to the quite impressive horns of an Impala ram. Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impala

Correct SK. The Impala is impaled. Problem is that it is hard to see the brand name Impala on the car.

Hi pappus. I considered the impaling stick as a horn -- for about 3 seconds -- but the stick lacks curvature, so I thought I missed something. (The irony would be better, were that model named Unicorn.)

OIC. The word impala is somewhat "close" to the word impale.

Within the group, the Impala image is the least-entertaining example (I think). It just doesn't 'click' for me. :cool:

Oic. ?

It's what pigs say when they mumble.

Say the letters out loud. If it helps, you may interject a slight pause after the first letter.

Helps to employ an Irish accent, I think

Knowing that you're monitoring the signs gives me great comfort, doctor.

Let me know, when you think I need treatment. :cool:

This an example of the "Anguish Languish"
where a phrase is phonetically similar to another.


Here are a few of my favorites:

Commy eerie spawn Sybil.

Whinny decor so few many fence.

Sinker socker sick spends
Apocryphal awry.
