Causality: You end up in the doghouse after your wife finds out you've been to a cathouse.
Carl-E:
Whenever I see the word "casualty" I hear "causality".
I'm mildly dyslexic, but damn, it's one letter by one space.
And a world of meaning.

I had something similar happen when I was taking a philosophy course in HS. There was an entire chapter on "causal arguments", and I kept reading it as "casual arguments", and was wondering why it made no sense. That was until the teacher actually reached that chapter and pronounced it correctly, and I suddenly understood.
Is it cold in here?:
