DH was talking to our neighbor who had been to his doctor, for diabetes, hypertension, etc. DH asked, "did they ask for a urine specimen?" (wanting to know what tests they ran). Neighbor said, yes. DH asked, "so how did that come out?"


uhhhhh... the usual way... :oops:

My DH did this one. He wanted to let his employees know that one individual, named "Jack" was taking the afternoon off. So he sent out an E-Mail, that said simply "(fill in name) off this afternoon.

One of my instructors in hairdressing school told us on a slow day to clean our stations and "be sure to clean the hair out of your drawers."

Somehow that just didn't come out right.

We had friends named Corene and Howard. Once, when I was introducing them to someone, I blurted out "I'd like you to meet Whorene and Coward". I will never know how I got my tongue so twisted, but it happened, and thankfully they were good sports, and accepted my apology, and laughed it off. As for me, I still feel a little embarrassed when I think about it.

Oh my, I have said the same thing.....One time I had a co-worker say to me "Oh, I didn't recognize you standing up, you usually are on your knees"....which makes perfect sense as I teach CPR all day.....but it did make a few heads turn when he said that.

When I was a kid my mom brought home some chicken from KFC. My dad, who usually eats the dark meat, grabbed a chicken breast and started eating it.

My mom yelled..."don't you know a breast when you see one"!

My dad grinned real big and said "yes I do"!

Now years later when we all get together, one of my brothers or I will say to dad..."don't you know a breast when you see one"? haha Even after 62 years of marriage, my dad,who will be 80 next month, and mom (77) still laughs about it.
