I think this one comes from "Anguished English", a collection by Richard Lederer:
A newspaper accidentally ran two words together when they printed a headline about a State Governor signing a bill:
"Governor's Penis a Sword".

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.
