Don't dangle your modifiers!

I love editing, especially when I get a good laugh out of what I'm working on.

While editing an intern's article, I came across these doozies:

--After all that work, students might type up a paper for an advisor that would just sit in a file cabinet.

Someone let that poor advisor out of the file cabinet!

--It makes it easier for students to explain what they do to a layperson.

Ack! Quick, cover the children's ears so they don't hear what students do to laypeople!

I love my work! Where else can I be guaranteed belly laughs?
