A "Duh!" moment -- Rita Skeeter

[John Walton]

No: HPFGUIDX 25433

Okay, I feel like a complete fool. I just picked up an old issue of the NY
Daily News Express (the one they give out free at Grand Central for the
train ride home) out of my cat's litter box, and realised something
extremely funny. The title of the article was "Skeeter Spraying Delayed
Again".

Admittedly, since I was in a cat mood, I thought it said "spaying", and
immediately leaned in closer for a better look. ("Eh? Who's spaying Rita
Skeeter?", I thought.) Then I realised it said "Spraying". Duh.

And then it hit me. "Skeeter" is an American slang abbreviation of
"MoSQUIto". And Rita Skeeter is a bug animagus. I can't believe I didn't
notice that before! A "DUH!" moment indeed.

Just thought I'd share :D
