WKSU is an online radio channel that I often listen to.
It's partially funded by advertising but also relies a good deal on individual donors. So at fairly frequent intervals there is an item reminding us we can become a supporter at any time.
You don't have to wait for a fun drive.
That's not what the announcer is saying at all: it should be a fund drive. But although I know this perfectly well, the part of my brain that recognizes words stubbornly goes on hearing fun drive, even though this makes no sense at all in the context.
