WHEN "GET RID" IS MISINTERPRETED

These recent few highbrow 'passions gone wrong' involving strikingly beautiful women and academics are too hard to miss. It makes you realise that the years of education behind them do not make them less of a subject of lusts and temptation, but more articulate in their defence when things go awry.

I can almost see this happening:
"Your honour, all I said to the PI who called me to report that she was still lurking outside my house is to 'GET RID OF HER'. I did not expect the extreme!"

Just like when contestants move hand about on a vehicle, officials with not very good engrish might have said "put your hand down" meaning "put your hand down firmly on the hand mark and don't move it about" :)
