Favourite Mistakes 

Favourite Mistakes

As an add-on to the article below about common mistakes, here are some of my favourites. They're ones I've collected over the years and they're all real.

WHAT THEY SAID;
1. "I'm electric"
2. "My birthday, it was not yesterday"
3. "I like her hole"
4. "I like tinkering"
5. "At the party were only small people" (in reply to my question why he didn't like the party)
6. "I like cock" (during a job interview)
7. "Take off your clothes" (on arrival at a party)

WHAT THEY MEANT;
1. "I'm an electrician"
2. "I wasn't born yesterday"
3. "I like everything about her" - "I like her whole"
4. I think this was meant to be "I like DIY"
5. "At the party there were only a few people"
6. See one of my previous articles from a couple of months back - she meant "I like cooking"
7. Much to my disappointment it turned out to mean "Take off your coat"
