My brother in law had just finished from a long night of driving and arrived at my mom's house when we were watching the news. Recently, a small child had drowned in his family pool, so the news was doing a lot of stories on pool safety - showing children running around pools and playing under the watchful eyes of their parents. Mike glanced at the screen, took a moment, and started laughing. Wondering why he was laughing at a story of drowning children, we asked what was so funny. The title of the story was "Pool Dangers" and yet my fatigued bro-in-law was wondering why images of children would accompany the words "Pole Dancers" that he mistakenly read. This is a Freudian Grab.

After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.

Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
