The Moulting Alligator
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been collecting a small list of mis-spoken blunders..
While shopping in Zellers, my 3-year old doesn’t seem to be able to say “elevator”. I said that she could push the button in the elevator and she said “the alligator?” After I was done laughing, I tried to explain the difference between alligator and elevator — one you want to be in, the other you don’t!
At a customer’s home, a teenage son notices that his mother’s coat seems to be leaking feathers out of it. He said, “Mom, I think your coat is mulching!” I can only assume that he meant moulting!
One of my co-workers had a situation that the customer insisted that they wanted a cable outlet installed in their chicken. It didn’t take long for him to figure out that they meant kitchen!
And finally, I’ll post this one again…
While I was in an elevator, a customer asked me if I was a cable insulter.. Close! Installer!
Have a great day!
