Friend at work said to me “You know John on the factory floor ? He’s vegan”. I said “What are his safety boots made of then ?” and he looked confused and said “You what ?”. I explained what I meant, and he replied “I said he’s LEAVING !”.

I had an old guy say, “Gonna be 81 tomorrow”. I said, “Hope so”, thinking he was talking about the weather. He wasn’t…the next day was his birthday.

On a beach outside Boston, a group asked me if I wanted to pottie. I said I didn’t have to. Took a little back and forth before I realized they meant party.

I met someone in a club and when I asked him what he did I thought he said ‘magician’, so asked him to show me tricks. He looked surprised, but did. It wasn’t until much later I found out he’d said musician.

I feel this.
I was walking down the street. A man said: “Nice boots.” So, I said: “Thank you. They’re new.” He openly gaped at me. Then, it hit me. He didn’t say boots. He said boobs.
