What was said:
"He's pretty old for his age."
What was meant:
He's older than he looks. I said this about Scott Valentine (the
actor that played Mallory's boyfriend on "Family Ties").
WWS:
"They played that on Livestock."
WWM:
I meant Woodstock, I was mixing Live Aid into it.
WWS:
"His hair was very chesty."
WWM:
Obviously, his chest was hairy. I said this about the lead singer
of the 80's band Honeymoon Suite.
WWS:
"Guess what's going through my hair!"
WWM:
I meant to say head. I always have songs going through my head.
WWS:
"Loving Every Minute Ago"
WWM:
I mis-said the Loverboy song "Loving Every Minute of It".
WWS:
"You've got RAIDS!"
WWM:
I sat a seat away from my friend and she asked me if she smelled bad or
something. I went to tell her she had Rabies, then mixed in AIDS
without meaning to.
WWS:
"I've drunk one too many and I'm unsteady..."
WWM:
A bad joke I made about the opening spoken part of "The Ocean" by Led Zeppelin.
It was made in reference to the drummer (who speaks the part) John Bonham,
who was known for his excessive drinking.
WWS:
"888=Number of the feast, 000=Number of the least"
WWM:
More bad jokes.
WWS:
"He was almost the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, but he got caught up in
Traffic."
WWM: I
was telling a friend about Steve Winwood almost becoming the lead singer
of Zep, but was busy with the band Traffic. My friend thought I was
saying he didn't make the cut because he was late to the audition because of actual traffic.
WWS:
"What's an eminence front?" Ans: "It's a put-on."
WWM:
I asked what it meant, my friend repeated the lyric. It got her off
the hook.
WWS:
"I usually get a movie during a headache anyway."
WWM:
My friend meant she got headaches while watching movies.
WWS:
"Do you know what I...I heard...I saw...wait."
WWM:
I couldn't remember if I had heard or seen the interesting bit of news.
WWS:
"I toothbrushed my hair."
WWM:
I meant I brushed my teeth.
WWS:
"Jimmy Pant's Jeans" / "Jimmy Pant's Pages"
WWM:
I was talking about Jimmy Page's pants; my friend corrected me with the
corrupt second one.
WWS:
"The Dazed version of 'Live and Confused'."
WWM:
Of course, I meant the Live version of 'Dazed and Confused'.
WWS:
"The Animals broke up and made War."
WWM:
Eric Burdon left the Animals and formed the band War. Again my friends
took it the wrong way.
WWS:
"I had a hotal tartattack!"
WWM:
My friend had a total heart attack.
WWS:
"That was so dumb, it was stupid."
WWM:
Just what I said. Go figure my logic.
WWS:
"Alan, Jive!" Ans: "No thanks, I think I'll dump."
WWM:
I was telling a friend to jump, then to dive. I combined the two,
so so did he.
WWS:
"I'll be your awfully leaded husband."
WWM:
My then soon-to-be meant "lawfully wedded".
WWS:
"Karen Carpenter was an elbow."
WWM:
I meant to say she was an Alto.
WWS:
"Do you want your eggs frambled or scried?"
WWM:
This one is obvious. A niece got a little nervous.
WWS:
"Well the cows are out today." Ans: "They must not have had to work either."
WWM:
We passed by a local field with cows in it; I made a general comment,
my husband made a joke about it being New Year's Day.
WWS:
A: "Bubba's got a temper." B: "No I don't." A: "Well, not until you're
mad."
WWM:
Exactly what was said.
