Thank Goodness it's not just me

Thank Goodness it's not just me Amakamaria has a funny post up about how she had to spell "pearl" to a woman over the phone and ended up saying "you know, like a pearl necklace, which caused some mirth as you can imagine. But it reminded me of the checkout girl at HMV records not long ago. I couldn't find the record I wanted, so I went to the desk and asked, but she had never heard of Regina Spektor. In fact she looked a bit taken aback and asked how to spell the name. So I said "S-P-E-K-T-O-R." But she still looked a bit worried and then hesitantly started to say, "vagina spec...?" "No no no! I said quickly. Oh goodness, no wonder you looked confused, Re-Gina; R-E-G-I-N-A!" She was laughing, looking relieved but embarrassed and I was trying not to smirk. At least it shows I am not the only one mis-hearing stuff recently. Let's hope no one goes in asking her for Pussy Riot any time soon though. |

Good job you had mis-heard her, you wouldn't have wanted to have had to ask her why she was so spotty doggist. Meanwhile, that reminds me of the time I offered a South African friend of mine a drink at a bar. For a full ten seconds I was convinced he had said, "thanks, I'll have a bat's arse." Actually it turned out he wanted a bottled beer called Labatt's Ice, but in his accent the two sounded exactly the same!

...she had never heard of Regina Spektor... I wonder why they have gone bust! The last but one CD I went to HMV to buy was P.J. Harvey's Let England Shake. Even as a new release they didn't carry stock. I am now nearly exclusively on line for music but I still like the artefact of a physical CD. HMV is a depressing place now. There must be more to it that having knowledgeable sales staff, after all, the shelf stacker I asked the other day in Sainsbury's had never heard of vegetable bouillon, but they do have it, and they haven't gone bust. On the other hand, I do miss the days when if you went into HMV and asked about a record, the guy would know everything - it was like asking you about Neil Young!

Talking to my friend today, online - we were discussing the playful habits of our dogs. His is an 8 yr old female, mine is a little 9 yr old male. But it's what he said that cracked me up: "She still likes to play with balls." he's spanish, so he doesn't catch the way my mind drifts, and i was glad we weren't talkign face to face, because i couldn't have avoided laughing out loud. i'm not fit for company anymore. lol  --Author Unknown

Ever since this happened I have been trying to write a post entitled "Vagina Spectre" - but at the moment all I can come up with is something which might have to wait nine months and then be posted as a ghost story for Hallowe'en!
