Humorous Misunderstandings/Misinterpretations

A friend of mine was recently discussing the Chilean Miners story with her husband and she said to him that she couldn't understand why they were all down there, why on earth would they let all those miners down there and it is so dangerous.

He looked at her kind of bemused and said what are you on about, she continued to say how she thought it was so dangerous and stupid to let all those kids down there on a field trip. Ultimate facepalm at that moment, she some how thought it was minors not miners, and this was around the time they were getting rescued, she obviously doesn't pay close attention to current affairs.

Made me laugh how someone could actually think that, I don't think I have ever made a mistake like that :cool:

Fago!

Mam text me ""Are you having dinner here today or are you going out for food with **** (sister's name)? Also, who broke my camera, her or your brother?""

I replied seperating the two answers with a comma, mam didn't see the comma, so she got this reply.... "I'm eating out, her"

She was shocked to say the least.

A miner misunderstanding, I would say.:)

An estate agent went round a building of rented flats with an interested buyer. He knocked on a door and a voice shouted 'yeh?' The estate agent said 'I'm looking round the building for the landlord? The voice replied 'well he's not in here'.

Yes, very much so. I am sure I could dig up some more from her, she is just one of those people bless her.

I got chatting with some elderly American tourists on the LUAS a few weeks back.

One of them said they'd been around Dublin for a few days and they'd noticed that the predominant colour seemed to be black.

I was a bit taken aback but replied that yes Dublin had become a lot more multi-cultural than it used to be.

The old guy looked at me, "I was talking about the way people dress."

Doh!

i was on my first date with a man who i ended up going out with for 5 years

he'd dropped me home, and we were in the car, chatting and snogging

i had my hand resting on his upper thigh area as we were chatting

he yawned and i said "you're wrecked"

he heard "you're erect"

he got all indignant and said "no i'm not" and i replied "its ok, i dont mind, its late" etc

confusion reigned for a few minutes til we figured out what happened

I was with an American person.

She said it was very cold.

I agreed.

She said that it must have been about 30 degrees.

I, confused, wondered aloud that it was in fact 1 or 2 degrees.

It turned out that she had meant 30 degrees in Farenheit.

Oh how we laughed.
