Whose line is it anyway?


Over dinner on Sunday night...

Q (enquiring about vacation plans, apparently): "So is anyone else going anywhere?"

Me (matter-of-factly, or so I thought): "Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm wearing underwear."

It took 10 seconds of complete silence before I finally looked up to see everyone at the table staring at me, and another 236174 seconds for me to realise that I'd misheard the question. How is it my fault that people don't speak clearly?

Man, if that was what they were waiting for they must've been hugely disappointed... ;)

Ahem, there was no removal of clothing throughout the course of the dinner, so everyone can just relax. ;)
