    The past tense “paid” doesn’t go with “laughs.” Are you complaining about a misunderstanding you had for the time it took you to read 3 more words? Or do you not understand tense?

      In case you didn’t figure it out, the headline is ambiguous between her giving or receiving the money. Reading “three more words” doesn’t change that.
