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?

Yet another phone one...Back in the day me and my mate Dave had a running gag where we'd answer the phone as a made-up business with a rhyming tagline. I think it originated from an episode of the Simpsons.
So time and time again he'd ring me or I'd ring him to be greeted with something along the lines of:
"Archibald's Taxidermy - they snuff it, we stuff it"
or
"Necrophilia Unlimited - you slay it, we lay it"
It kept us amused but it's difficult to keep coming up with new ones and, being the childish cock-monkeys we were they just kept getting more and more filthy.
You can already see where this one is going can't you.....?
Anyway inspiration hit me one day and I wrote one down ready for the next time Dave phoned. Lo and behold a few days later my phone rings and the display flashes "Dave:home".
In my best "I run a business" voice I answer it thus:
"Slim Jim's Quim Trim - you grow it, we mow it" and start giggling to myself.
I sensed something was wrong when there was no laughter from the other end and things got rather worse when a very female and not-at-all-Dave voice asked "Mark? Is that you? I'm looking for Dave".
Yup. I'd just asked my best mate's mum if she wanted her quim trimmed.
