It is the fault of the reader where his thoughts take him, not the writer. The connections are made in the mind of the reader. I would bet that the alternative implication never entered the mind of AppyPappy

Looks like the mods read it the same way.

I'd agree with you if only one person read it incorrectly. But if more than one reader comes away with a similar reaction, then the fault lies with the writer...and clearly more than one person made the same connection.

“It is the fault of the reader where his thoughts take him, not the writer.”

The problem with that is that the phrase “get some,” has two connotations.
