I don't always hear things the way they're meant to be heard.... One of the hymns during communion at church last Sunday was "Soon and Very Soon".
What I heard:
Soup and Bears in Suits

I do that all the time! There's a No Doubt song and the line in the song is "no matter, matter who calls: and I heard "I'm madder than glucose." (Could it be because I was 60% deaf in one ear as a child and was tubed 4 times or that I'm a moron?)
hahahaha....I had a similar thing with my girlfriend...I had called her to say happy 50th birthday etc..and I said how you feeling with the big 50? ...What she said was .... well at least I am still alive and kickin'.......
what I thought I heard her say was....
well at least I can still eat chicken ...
omg ..its been 2 years and we still burst into laughter every time we rememeber it ...hahahahaha
I grew up Catholic. When we said the lord's prayer and got to this part:
Thy kingdom come Thy will be done. on earth as it is in heavan.
I thought forever that "Thy will be done" meant that when God's kingdom came, I would be 'done'- aka, finished, destroyed, disintegrated. I thought 'thy' referred to me/the congregation, and 'will' was a verb portion of the verb phrase 'will be done'.
Obviously I never got any comfort out of the Lord's prayer and was too terrified to ask anyone if my interpretation was accurate- I figured the dark bleeding crucifix only reinforced the fact we'd all be 'done'. EE. Oops.

Have you heard the one about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac? He stays awake all night wondering whether or not there is a dog :)
I know, cheesy, but your post reminded me of the joke, and I so rarely get to tell them.
That sounds like part of any random conversation I have with my mother. ouch!
I know it's not relevant, but your version is much more entertaining:)

well we still have a lot in commom sister, I am frequently accused of having dyslexic hearing.
Is it an age thing? don't think so as the women I work with are older than me. It has to be the tides, yeah that is it!!!!
