DG: Hi, it's the Delivery Guy here, just ringing to make sure I'm in the right place.
Me: Well, I can't see you.
DG: I followed your directions...
Me: Did you come up the lane with the farm shop signs at the bottom?
DG: Yes.
Me: And when you came up the lane, was there an orchard on your left and a field of sheep on the right?
DG: Yes.
Me: Well, I still can't see you.
DG: I turned left off the main road onto the BXXXX, then took the first right.
Me: Ah, I see where you went wrong, you wanted the first LEFT.
Me (thinking): If you'd followed the directions like you SAID you had, you stupid moron, you would have taken the first left, which - funnily enough - has the farm shop signs at the bottom of the lane, an orchard on the left and a field of sheep on the right.

Do you want to learn how to treat cuts, bruises and bums?

Strictly speaking it was written, rather than spoken, but still amusing. :blush:

We have a poster at work, listing 'natural' cleaning solutions (vinegar and bicarb feature strongly). To get rid of smells, it recommends "Burn Candles", but it's in a homey 'handwritten' font, and looks just like Bum Candles.
