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?

TranslationA colleague and her friends were recently robbed of their possesions whilst on holiday in Spain, by means of a clever roadside scam. They had to go to the local police station and make a report- as they spoke no Spanish and the Spanish police spoke very little English, it was a bit of a trial for all concerned.
They had to produce this statement and report to customs officials (as their passports had been taken) and the police back home (for insurance purposes). They were met with incredulous laughter whenever it was read.
The report stated that they had been robbed by 3 children dressed as policeman carrying suitcase and driving a Robin Reliant.
edit: P.S. I heart Stusut.
