    Passing between bars in a pub years ago with my boyfriend another lad winked and licked his lips at me, having a few drinks in me I roared out "that boy just wanked at me"...instead of "winked"....my boyfriend and the other lad burst out laughing...there's me standing there going red saying over and over "I said winked I said winked...."

    Slightly related..I'm new in my job and was sitting at the table next to my co-workers in the canteen the other day. The seat I was on was broken but I managed to stay steady on it. Anyway, another co-worker came in and there were no chairs for her to sit on so immediately I offered mine (forgetting that it was faulty). Anyway she went to sit on it and nearly fell off. Was pretty funny (they were laughing anyway) and I think they thought I did it on purpose. Broke the ice kind of.;)

    A lot of my co-workers are foreign and whilst for some their English is decent, I tend to just nod in agreement and communicate with them through actions.

    "the girls received their syphilis today"

    Was going out with my gf a few months and we were at a friends house. She was very jealous at the beginning so me trying to get a friends attention by saying me gf's name repeatedly didn't go down well. She was also an ex, so that didn't help. The friend never realised but my gf#s eyes, I swear to christ I saw flames in there.

    She's still with me 4 years on so I think I'm forgiven, but you never know with women.

    OMG I was talking to a friend of mine about 2 weeks ago and he brought up "spiral perms." I tried to say, "I had a spiral perm once."

    Instead I said:

    "I had a sperm once."


    :(:(:(



    He just said, "You are so beet red right now!!"

    I couldn't stop laughing though.

    A slightly different form of this joke is on frasier! You trickster! Maybe ye just both came up with it independently though.

    Yes I hate mixing up words, one of the reasons I've lowered my cannabis intake.
