Hilarious Mis-Heard/Misspelled Metaphor

Saw this on Twitter last night.

Droughts don't have mists.  The lack of moisture would prevent that.
We're in the midst of a drought, not the mists.

*facepalm*

  1. When I was at Niagara Falls I got all wet from the midst. Ruined my hairdo.

    Too funny.

  3. Mists of a drought sounds very poetic. Maybe it involves a misty memory in a drought-filled life?
