The trouble is, the more one tries not to say it, the more likely one is to blurt it out ...I suppose it is like a mild case of Tourette's!
It's like the famous Diana Dors story...
"Not a lot of people know that the English film actress Diana Dors
was actually called Diana Fluck.When the blonde bombshell was
asked by her hometown to open their annual fête, the local vicar
was called upon to introduce her to the crowd by her real name.
Naturally, the vicar was somewhat nervous as the big day
approached, and his nerves grew and grew until finally the
moment was upon him. According to local legend, the vicar
concluded his introductory speech with the words,‘And now, here
she is, the woman the whole world knows as “Diana Dors”, but
whom we will always remember as our own Diana Clunt . . . ’"
and a big slice of Jo's cake, then a cool shower.
Although thinking about it, I don't think I did a higher proportion of boxes than normal, so maybe he's not that efficient anyway....
