Bares watching

Found online: I just found a story that says that something "bares watching." That sounds like a movie with naked women; it's unbareable.

In this case, of course, it "bears" watching.

I love puns: Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils?
