So evidently I said something to the wife that almost got me in trouble
I walked into a room where she was and gave a silly greeting. Instead of saying hello or some such she gave me a long, hard stare. She just stopped in the middle of what she was doing and stared at me. I asked her why she was doing that, and that it was freaking me out. She asked 'What did you just say to me?'. And then it dawned on me, what I said has TWO meanings.

I had walked into the room and waved and said 'Hi-ho!'.

This is what I was thinking:



This is what she heard:



Fortunately that messed was cleared up easily. I had NO problem convincing her I meant the disney greeting.

Note to self: Think more before speaking.

2. Just how gangsta does she think you are?
I guess it's my age, I'd never think anything but Disney. Which reminds me...once when I was attending the meetings of the Learned Societies in Fredericton, N.B. a large bunch of us scholarly publishers went out to dinner together one evening. It came to all kinds of silliness...especially after the Yard of Ale came out and started making its way around the table (the deal is that once you get to the bulb at the bottom the drinker generally gets a faceful). Well the guys all went out of the dining room together and shortly thereafter came back through the whole restaurant to our large table at the back chain-style, on their knees with their hands holding each other at the waist, singing "heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to work we go" etc. I wept with laughter. That's why I'd never think anything but Disney when I heard that.

4. My sister cracked up when I told her the name of this company:
Hoseasons.

www.hoseasons.co.uk - purveyor of self-catered holidays around the UK either in large-size caravans, chalets, or boats.

Found out that Hoseasons happen to have developed a "countryside holiday park" a few miles away from them, so given their good prices we might stay there when coming over for the wedding.

Mark.

8. I am prepared to get in big trouble for this one,
but remember the old joke about "Why are there only 49 contestants in the Miss Ebonics America pageant?"

Because no one wanted to wear the sash that said "Idaho."

I'm going to miss DU, and thanks to all you lovely people who gave me so much information, aggravation, friendship, assistance, and ways to hang myself with bad jokes.

Bless you all, and goodbye .....................................

16. I'm still here?
I thought that joke would get me yanked, for sure.

I have no concept of good taste, but I do love a politically incorrect joke.

So, I'm still here?

18. I fell into the same trap with a girl named Heidi.
She asked a table full of intoxicated people to guess her middle name. I blurted out "Ho" as in Heidi-Ho.

Heidi, being several years younger than I, didn't get the reference to the Blood Sweat and Tears song and thought I was calling her a whore.

Let's just say the conversation, and any chance I had with Heidi quickly evaporated.

19. Another thing NOT to say: (after great sex) "Wow! You could do that for a living!"
I'm not saying how I know that. I'm just saying that you shouldn't ever say it out loud.
