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?

My garbage is trashed[told this one before, but it's a goodie!]
I grew up smack dab in the middle of the US, then got a job deep in the Heart of Dixie.
I called the city to ask on which days they picked up the trash.
Southern belle's reply: "Same day we get y'all's garbage."
Err...
[edit: "garbage" here is plain old rubbish, coffe grounds, wrappers, etc. while "trash" is yard waste like grass clippings and leaves]
