Did anyone else parse "cures" as a verb at first?

Did anyone else parse "cures" as a verb at first?
- GordonS 5y agoYep, I did, which made for a puzzling title that I assumed was going to mean an article playing on correlation or something.
- jaclaz 5y agoCount me in, though I initially read it more like "work is the illness, here is the cure for it (and it's not hangover)" ...
- injidup 5y agoYeah. I had to read it 5 times. My brain was telling me that there was no evidence that a hangover is a cure for work. Duh! I thought. Hangovers only make work worse not better.
- nemo44x 5y agoI read it the same but with the idea being a hangover incentivizes you to call in sick for work thus “curing” the affliction you have with working. Except it doesn’t cure the affliction as you still have to go in eventually.
- lostmsu 5y agoI bet most non-drinkers read it this way.
- xcambar 5y agoyes but seriously, what will cure work? As a species, we've been doing it for long enough that we can try without it for a while, no?
- _0ffh 5y agoYup, came here to make same remark! =) Ed. I thought this was some kind of joke article.
