Amusing syntax in English

Amy Tan calls syntax "The arful arrangement of words." With perfect syntax we can deliver our ideas properly.  Chaotic syntax shows imperfect thinking.

Let me give you some "amusing" examples of wrong syntax:

● “She was carrying a table with two broken legs.” (Whose legs were broken?)

● “Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope” (Was he traveling on the back of an envelope?)

● “FOR SALE: Mahogany table by a lady with Chippendale legs.” (The lady has Chippendale legs?)

● “Two Sisters Reunited After 18 Years in Checkout Counter” (18 years in a checkout counter? They must be tired.)
