Misheard and Misunderstood
Rachelswipe says: My niece - after months of begging - was finally allowed to get a hamster, and her grandfather was utterly horrified to learn that it had been called "Nipples", a pretty good name for a pet if you ask us. Alas, it was only the more mundane "Nibbles" - what have you misheard or misunderstood, with truly hilarious consequences?

There was that time
when I went to the pub and ordered some pork scratchings to go with my pint, and the barman said he'd bring them over to me once I'd sat down. Five minutes later a bloke with a briefcase showed up at my table saying he'd heard I was interested in buying some nuclear weapons. I said "Nah, you're alright, mate; I was just after some pork scratchings." He said "Oh, OK. I'll...er...I'll just leave this here then, in case you change your mind." So he put the briefcase on the table and left.
When I opened it, it turned out to be full of pork scratchings. Obviously the gentleman had been the victim of a similar misunderstanding before. Anyway, I had the last laugh, as they were nuclear pork scratchings.
