Scary man with the over-bite

I went running today and passed one of those neighborhood watch signs that we have all seen a million times.

And although I had passed this certian one many times, it made me suddenly burst out into laughter because I remembered an impression from my youth that has never really gone away. I used to think the scary buglar man had an over-bite. It wasn’t until only a few years ago when I realized it was an overcoat. I never really thought about it…I didn’t consiously look out for scary shadow men with over-bites, but this image always looked like that to me.

It was the same way with this picture:

I always thought it was a bird.
