Rose Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Our son who is visiting for the holidays told us a very amusing little story earlier, of how he missed a catch in his recent cricket match...he was running for the ball when he heard someone in the crowd shout Cat S**t... he said he completely lost concentration as he started wondering how big this cat s**t could be for the crowd to have noticed... it was only after he had missed the ball that he realised the man had shouted Catch It... [:D]I am still laughing now as I type... and it got me thinking... has anyone else had anything similiar happen to them... where something totally reasonable has been mis-heard or mis-understood into something else? If so... please share as it made my day laughing so much... and the more you share the more I can laugh! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I thought I once heard someone referred to my then boss as "a fat idiot" (he was a prestigious professor in a well known University and he was hugely overweight). Turned out he meant "fastidious" after the conversation'd gone on a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRoss Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Nothing like an old joke! "Send reinforcements, we are going to advance". By the time the message reached the general it said "send three and fourpence, we are going to a dance"....................Sorry................................JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
