Whoah!

Sometimes I'm slow and don't think about those words and phrases that have meanings unto themselves but which stem from separate words that have meanings unto themselves. Then I have moments of enlightment at which friends laugh and my mother calls a "blonde moment."

Examples:

1) tortilla chips... I suddenly realized one day that they were made of tortillas! Shocker!
2) "Vasquez Rocks Park 2" on a sign ... I thought it meant the 2nd park... it meant "2 miles"

So in this vein... today I realized that I was a "copywriter". I just thought I wrote the copy.
