My husband, who thinks he is always right, had just got home wearing his new orthopedic shoes when he uttered words I never expected to hear...
"I STAND CORRECTED!"
Planning a Christmas weekend of entertaining guests, I made a list of things I needed to do, including taking food out of the freezer and grocery shopping. As it happened, a friend whom I had been promising to take to lunch asked if we could go for lunch that Friday.
So, hopping into the car, I taped my "to do" list to the dashboard and went to pick her up. As she settled into the car, her face dropped.
"Thanks a lot!" she sulked.
Then I glanced at my list and saw the first item: "Take out the turkey."
Words that mean what they sound like...
Counterfeiters: workers who put together kitchen cabinets.
Eclipse: what an English barber does for a living.
Eyedropper: a clumsy ophthalmologist.
Heroes: what a guy in a boat does.
Left Bank: what the robber did when his bag was full of loot.
Teacher: "How do you keep your old car running better?"
Student: "Check the prices of a new car regularly."
