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?

A toastMisunderstanding phrases seems to be a familly trait for my lot. At another large family gathering my brother, with all the pomp and ceremony a nine year old can muster, stopped everyone in their tracks saying he wanted to make a toast. Everyone turned to look at him acting all cute and he suddenly turned into a rabbit caught in the headlights. As panic flooded his brain he mumbled something about thanking them all for coming and then finished with a flourish by raising his glass of coke and happily shouting "UP YOURS!"
I was still laughing as he was dragged away by the ear, it wasn't until I heard the smacking sounds coming from the kitchen that I made the mental link. He of course meant to say 'bottoms up' and just got a little confused. Oh the irony.
