MisunderstoodMy other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

Guilty 8 year oldThere I was, 8 years old, sitting at the table eating toast. I have been wiping the crumbs surreptitiously onto the floor, I had to go to the larder to get some more jam.
The larder is a large cupboard where all the mops, etc. are also kept.
My Dad shouts out "Can you get the floorer?" referring to the sponge mop which would be used to clean up stuff on the floor. Like crumbs.
Cue guilty tantrum "I'm not wiping them up. You can do it. It wasn't me." etc. etc.
Of course, as you have all spotted by now, this rather bemused my Dad since all he wanted was the Flora margarine from the fridge.
