Misreading the Signs

So this morning at work I was grabbing some coffee, and I glanced at the Blood Drive sign that was posted above the machine. Its headline, in big white letters, read:

EVERY 2 SECONDS SOMEONE IN AMERICA NEEDS BLOOD

But in my coffee-starved inattentiveness, what I saw was this:

EVERY 2 SECONDS SOMEONE IN AMERICA NEEDS ALCOHOL

I mean, wtf? That's not even close. And no, I'm not hungover.

Still, I wonder if it means something...

Any funny misreadings from my reader(s)?

Is anyone out there?
