Misplaced Modifiers

Misplaced modifiers are words that, because of awkward placement, do not describe what the writer intended them to describe.  In other words its a sentence that's confusing or unintentionally funny.
             Example:
Incorrect- George couldn't drive to work in his sports car with a broken leg.
Correct- With a broken leg, George couldn't drive to work in his sports car.
