"The passerby helps dog bite victim" – Is the passerby helping a dog bite someone?
Yes, when syntax is correct and what seems unclear is the word 'passerby' who in this case is a dog.
The passerby helps the dog bite the victim.

Here's one I just found in the Toronto Globe and Mail. It's quite the neat trick:

Her slim legs are crossed elegantly at the knee and at her neck, a colourful scarf is arranged artfully over her shoulder.

:mock: Amiguity
The concept of ambiguity is proved in the Bible by the many different categories and labels that are affixed to the "One God" by the biblical authors.

Some see a storm, some see a burning bush, others see a potter, an eagle, an old woman and many other "names" for the One.

Well, yeah, I know there's ambiguity in the Bible.

This thread is about levity.

Are you incapable?

I can go from dead serious to downright silly in seconds.

I feel sorry for those who can't let go now and then. :(
