(1) Here's an example from a "Popeye" cartoon:
The character said "Don't!" and then "Stop!" over and over,
faster and faster, until eventually the words ran together as "Don't Stop!" which is the exact opposite in meaning.
(2) There is also a puzzle about a barber who put this sign in his window:
WHAT DO YOU THINK
I'LL SHAVE YOU FOR NOTHING AND GIVE YOU A DRINK
The correct punctuation turned out to be
What?
Do you think I'll shave you for nothing and give you a drink?
So if you read the two sentences together quickly, without the punctuation, it makes new sentences with a different meaning.
(3) From a song by Jimi Hendrix, the phrase
"Kiss the Sky" is often misunderstood to be
"Kiss This Guy" especially if you say it fast.
http://www.kissthisguy.com is a whole website of "misheard lyrics," organized by song title, group, and alphabetical order. Very funny!
(4) I just saw a commercial for
"Sea Kelp" which sounds like
"Seek Help" if you say it fast.
