Do you know any sentences that can confuse people?
 
a great one that I used on a smart alec at TAZ:
I think you've misunderstood the thread, or maybe I've misunderstood you by saying that you misunderstood the thread, when in fact it could just as easily be you misunderstanding me even though I've stated that it is a possiblity that you could've misunderstood the thread in the first place, which really poses the question of who is misunderstanding who, although that question could easily be misunderstood as me trying to make you misunderstand me, if you did think that, that means you are misunderstanding me which really makes me wonder if you cant not misunderstand anything I say, but then again, I might be misunderstanding you.
I bet your thinking that I've wasted your time now aren't you? well, its your fault for misunderstanding the purpose of this post.

Thank you and goodnight 🙂
 
Aah well, its night here 😛 BTW for extra credit, I typed that out on a phone (not even a blackberry)
 
Back of the book "The End" by Lemony Snicket. It's not one sentence, but it is confusing.

You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of THE END. The end of THE END is the best place to begin THE END, because if you read THE END from the beginning of the beginning of THE END to the end of the end of THE END, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope.

Maybe you misunderstood him, or maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but either way, you misunderstood him, unless I am actually misunderstanding you.

Yeah... wasn't too confusing.

57 divided by the square root of 16, multiplied by 12 and divided by 9 would be a confusing sentence. :rofl:
