1) Confusing sign
To start things off, here's a sign that could potentially lead to confusing amusement.

Bar.
Cocktails.
Dancing sandwiches.
"Wow! Dancing sandwiches! That sounds impressive! I never knew sandwiches could dance!"
Editor's note: "Charles, I don't think the sandwiches are actually dancing. I think the sign meant to say 'dancing' and 'sandwiches' as two separate items."
Charles: "Yes, I know. I was just pretending to be confused to go along with the theme of this week's blog post."
Editor: "Oh, right! Sorry!"
2) Confusing pregnancy
Here's an amusing story about a confused four year old boy:
I showed my 4 year old a picture of me when I was 9 months pregnant and I said, "Look you were in mommy's tummy in this picture."
He looked at it for a minute and very seriously asked, "Did you eat me"?

3) Confusion or exaggeration
I suspect this next reply was deliberate confusion, but I found it amusing all the same.
 |
| Miley Cyrus visits London. Or Kilometery Cyrus as she's known in Europe. |
Miley Cyrus: "Loved meeting everyone in London today."
Elliot: "There is no way you have met everyone in London in one day."
I agree with Elliot on this one. There are approximately nine million people in London, and there are 86,400 seconds in a day, so she would have to meet 104 people every second!* There's no way! That's just not possible!
* TheyDidTheMath
I suspect Miley Cyrus has been stretching the truth somewhat.
Editor: "Charles, I don't think Miley Cyrus meant she had literally met everyone in London. I think she meant she enjoyed meeting everyone that she met while she was in London."
Charles: "Yes, I know. I was just pretending to be confused again to tie in with this week's blog post theme."
Editor: "Oops, sorry!"
4) Confused ants
Why are baby ants confused?
Because all their uncles are ants.
5) Confused Celtic shirt
Here's an online conversation from someone called Justin who wanted to buy a Celtic shirt without a name on the back...
 |
| For sale: Celtic shirt. Ideal for anyone with the surname 'Blank'. |
"I want to order the home shirt with number 10 on the back with no name, but it won't let me as the 'Name' box is a required field. Any way around this? Would I be able to place this order via email? Thanks, Justin."
"Hi Justin, no problem. Just write, 'BLANK' plus your number so the team know not to print a name."
Presumably the Celtic store team assumed his name was Justin Blank!
6) Confused idiot
How do you confuse an idiot?
42.
Editor: "I don't understand?"
Charles: "Exactly!"
7) Confusing website
This next website asks a confusing question regarding age.
"Are you under the age of 18?
If under the age of 18, please state why."
Because I was born less than eighteen years ago and that's how age works.

| Charles: "Hey Editor, that's the wrong type of 'plug'." Editor: "The confusion never ends!" |
8) Confused Charles Fudgemuffin
Finally, here's a true story of confusion from my own childhood...
When I was young I was a big fan of Plug (a character from the Beano comic), so I filled in a form to join the Plug fan club. The form asked a few personal questions, and these were my amusingly confused answers to two of the questions:
Eyes: "Two"
Hair: "Lots of"
Apparently, it turns out they were asking what colour your eyes were, rather than how many eyes you had! In my defence, I was only about five or six at the time.
