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?

Well, I'll go with the spoonerism angleMy Nan, whilst watching re-runs of The Crystal Maze in the mid 90s:
nan: 'Ooh, it's a bit like those alligators'.
me: 'what?'
nan: 'you know, those alligators. Running about on TV in front of an audience. On ITV'
me: '(recalls no significant wildlife programs on ITV) Once again, what?!'
nan: 'They get people to fight against them. On ITV.'
me: '...'
Turned out she was talking about the steroid-fuelled cringe-fest, 'Gladiators'.
She is now 89, and her spoonerism gland is still operating at peak efficiency.
