parsing problems

cellioCNN front page today: "Bush fires rage across Australia"... took me a moment to realize that "fires" is a noun and "bush" is an adjective here, rather than our president being up to something.
Last night, on a menu: "quarter roasted chicken"... no, on reflection, probably *not* like twice-cooked pork.
Is this a sign that my inner word nerd doesn't get out enough, or that it gets out too much? :-)

Reminds me of one of the funnier punctuation email's I've received
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind,
thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and
inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no
feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you
let me be yours?
Gloria
