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?

Because fourteen is much nicer than twelveWas out and about the other day and needed something for my camera, so off I popped to Jessops to get what I needed. Whilst there I noticed that they make calendars with your pictures in for each month, I condidered buying a bunch for my friends and myself. In hindsight I should have asked, 'Can I buy these in bulk?' but I asked, 'Is there a limit to how many of these I can have?' to which the sales assistant put on a pained face and began to say slowly,
"Well madam . . .usually there are about . . erm . . . twelve months per year . . .erm . . so . . . erm . . well basically . . . the usual amount is about twelve. Although if you wanted we could arrange for more, for a minimal extra cost."
