Conversational Balls-Up
(The store is quiet for an afternoon. We are looking over the department lottery, where I notice something strange on the sheet.)
Me: “[Coworker], why is your name down twice?”
Coworker: “Well, my husband wants to take part as well, but I’m bringing the money in for it anyway, so it’s easier if I just put mine down.”
Me: “I guess that makes sense…”
Coworker: *a little excitedly* “Yep, so I’ve got two balls!”
(Almost immediately, she realised what she said loud enough that a few customers and coworkers turned round. She hid in the corner and refused to come out for a few minutes while I was bent over in laughter!)
