I think in my dotage I am becoming completely witless!
We have all heard others use the wrong words when trying to articulate something or laughed heartily at someone else's misfortune when they get so tongue tied that absolutely nothing coherent comes out and we have all, I suspect, done the same ourselves on occasion, but as I get older it seems to be a slightly more frequent occurence, along with the inability to think of the right word I want at the moment I need it.
Friday I surpassed myself in the stupidity stakes!
Fletch and I were watching the news and a clip of Chinese president Hu Jintao making his Olympic opening speech. I turned to Fletch and in all innocence and without a trace of apparent confusion said "Oh...I like his rectum"! FFS!
The look on his face, along with a very slight niggle in my own mind, that something was not quite right in the claptrap that I had just uttered warned me I was about to become the butt (no pun intended) of much derision and amusement!
Please someone, tell me that the words 'rectum' and 'LECTURN' at least sound slightly similar!!! Ugh, what a donkey!
I suppose I should only be glad that it wasn't me in front of a lecturn!

LMAO, trying to imagine Fletch's face when you said that. I do this sort of thing at times and TLK always catches it, it seems.
Those two DO sound quite alike. ;)

PMSL you nutcase lol. xxx
ROFL!! Usually it's OH who does that, but I find myself doing it more often as I get older, too!
hahahahahahahahahaha
thanks for putting a huge smile on my face - laughing out loud here like a loon!
and yes they sound similar!
Ya know... This is the first time that a blog entry has left me dumbfounded. So... you have that going for you.
That. Was. Hilarious. Don't worry though, I do stuff like that all the time too.
"I suppose I should only be glad that it wasn't me in front of a lecturn!"
