Because I'm eye-scanning web content all the time in my day-job as a website content manager and also as a constant internet user I often transpose words and phrases due to the speed that I scan.
Today I read two sentences from different columns on a local news website; the expression that resulted came from 'the devil is in the detail' and 'the glass half-full'. Neither article in itself was interesting but in my head I read 'The Devil in the Glass', and all of a sudden I had an idea for a story.
I'm sure we all do this - not just online but in print; have you had similar inspiration strike this way?

I was once singing to myself and came out with 'Lovely meter, Rita made'
And another time my Uncle's watch had stopped and I said that his stop had watched!
