“I’m Having a Hard Time Visualizing This”

I was speaking to a friend last week and I said managed to mangle a sentence and confuse the words "prostate" (the urinary gland) and "prostrate" (lying down). That little ‘r’ makes a big difference. A little searching on google shows that many other people have made similar error:

  • "When Allah commanded him to prostate himself before Adam, he refused."
  • "Unfortunately, Jim will never prostate himself low or long enough to satisfy the disturbance he caused with his First Class client."
  • "Bush needs to crawl back to the UN & prostate himself NOW."
  • "We could go on about countless Christian horror stories where grown adults fall prostate on the altar of Jesus and plead."

I’m not exactly sure what any of these sentences mean but I’m having a fun time imagining.
