Asking if I COULD have a piece of cake, my mother in law expressed concern that I might go into "prophylactic shock", since the cake had walnuts in it and I'm allergic to em. Man did I bust a gut. Fell out of my seat and everything.
It reminded me of my brother's old girlfirend who was a dental hygienist. She told us of how it was horrible to work on a person, hovering over their mouths, when they clearly had "hemophilia". Even though I thought that that was the funniest thing ever, I had to look at her for a while trying to figure out if indeed she was serious. She worked in the field after all. How could she confuse the fields of dental hygiene and phlebotomy?
Yesterday in one of the classrooms I observe, I started laughing on the inside (had too as I didn't want the students to catch on or embarrass the teacher); however, I suspect one of the more clever students got the double entendre as well. The teacher was going over the 6 water sheds of PA and as he described a particularly interesting local tid-bit he said, "You'd have to be pretty high to see lake Erie from far away." A real knee slapper that one.
Readers of the Digest beware. This is why LIFE is STRANGER than FICTION. HEHE
