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?

Little peopleI was out with a bunch of friends, chatting away with one of them about little people, dwarves etc, as one does, so he gets very excited and exclaims "I've got to get me some midgets!!!!!".
His girlfriend and all her friends went absolutely ballistic at him about this, how demeaning it was, and so on. We couldn't understand their problem. Turns out they thought he'd said "I've got to get me some bitches!!!!!".
At which point he tried to explain "no, midgets, not bitches!", but they didn't believe a word of it - "why would you be talking about midgets??". Eventually we realised that unlike us, girls don't tend to consider midgets a normal day-to-day topic of conversation...
