Too much Lit?

[WillowPuss]

Today, as I was walking up my local High Street, I was stopped dead in my tracks by a notice I saw in a shop window.

Now - possibly only Tassie, Petrel and Dave will really understand quite how funny this is ... and why I was stopped dead in my tracks ...

Anyway - the shop was the local branch of Marks and Spencer.

I thought I saw a notice that said:

BONDAGE BRAS - HALF PRICE


What it actually said was BOXED BRAS - HALF PRICE.

It was in that moment that I wondered if I had been having overdoses of Lit?


That happened to anyone else?

Maybe its time I had my eyes re-examined?

I saw the Bo... at the beginning of the word and immediately thought BONDGE!

See when I read that it reminded me of myself. I am always reading things wrong and I am overdue for new glasses.

Recently, I was talking to my Mom about blow drying my hair, only what came out of my mouth was "blow job."

To my Mother.

Yep, it was time to step away from the computer for awhile after that one.

 

[Daddyslilpet]

OMG this is too funny......I've read things wrong soooo many times!

And Ruby, Oh wow, I'd just die.

ROTFLMAO

Great thread Willow.

Oh Willow! Such things occur in my life with amusing regularity, too. Or it's uually amusing, anyway.



Yesterday afternoon i had a chance to spend some time with my daughter without my son there. She's 14, he's 5; the things i can do with them both are limited by his age and stamina. Thier father and i have recently decided that the big girl is getting ripped off in terms of time and attention because of the constant presence of the little boy, not that it's his fault he's 5 you understand, that's just the way it is. So we're going to make special efforts to spend time alone with the big girl weekly, each of us, while the other watches the little boy and spends time alone with him.

ANYWAY (and wasn't that a simply fascinating glimpse into the world of post-divorce parenting?), the big girl and i decided to go to the movies and then out to dinner last night. We went to see One Hour Photo with Robin Williams (in part cuz R was seeing it last night, too, and i want to talk with her about it). The movie was showing in my favorite theater, an art house kinda place.

The previews came on.

Preview.

Preview.

Preview.

Then a preview for a soon-to-be released movie called "Secretary", a movie R and i had talked about earlier, one with a decidedly BDSM bent - and a decided realistic and appropriate and maybe even correct kinda BDSM bent. (http://www.secretarythemovie.com/)

In this preview, there was one short look at the secretary, obviously after she'd been in her new job for awhile, who was cuffed into a spreader bar that was attached wrist to wrsit over her shoulders. She was trying to shut a door with this contraption on, a pile of papers in her hand, leaving his office to go do her work.

"What is that thing on her shoulders?" my 14 year old whispered to me a little too loudly. Someone a row of seats ahead of us and to the side snickered. "Why doesn't she take that thing off?"

"Shhhhhhh!" i hissed in her ear. "Maybe we'll talk when the movie is over. Let's not talk during it, okay?" (I learned long ago that all good parents preface thier never-gonna-happen quasi-promises with the word maybe. It's non-binding that way.) In any case, she didn't bring it up after the movie and i didn't either. I think that 14 years old is a teensy bit young to be telling her all about spreader bars, don't you?

I have to remember that my art film theater shows all sorts of trailers...

Did she know what you meant? If I had said that to my Mom, she would have thought I was talking about blowing my hair dry!

I have no idea. I immediately changed the subject and kept talking to cover up my embarrassment.

Spreader bar?
"No, no ... it was one of those yoke that Dutch (and old English) Milkmaids wear.
Now, dear, you know where England and Holland are right - we will look it up in the atlas in a moment.
Anyway ... oh, another thing just struck me - did you know that a lot of Holland, or to be really correct, The Netherlands, has been reclaimed from the sea?"

If the 'maybe' ruse doesn't work ... make it soooooooo interesting in an educational type way and watch the lights behind the eys go out!
Always worked for me ...

There is a store out in one of the burbs called S&M Fashions, but it's no relation.
I always giggle when I go to a sandwich store and see the sign that says "Six Foot Subs".

And on a completelt different note, I saw a moving truck the other day that had this message on the side:"Warning:Resist the temptation to pop the bubble wrap before unwrapping items".

Completely off topic, how did you like One Hour Photo? I thought it was good. Robin Williams gave a great performance.

I was talking to a well known gunsmith about a beautiful flintlock rifle that he made for a big-budget Hollywood movie.

We were talking about a part of the gun called a "breach plug" (which in itself is fairly funny if one isn't thinking about a part of muzzle-loading rifle.)

I could tell that he was over-tired because "butt plug" was what he actually said. He got flustered and hung up the phone rather abruptly.

Sprints off to M & S.........

Its amazing what you can get from marks and sparks !

Willow...thanks for my first good laugh of the day ! Trouble is, the old brain box starts spinning along similar lines and working out little "funnies".

So if I walk into my local shop tomorrow and ask for spreaderbar butter or handcuffchiefs or I offer a client the opportunity for me to analsex their horse (rather than analyse it)...its your fault !!

LOL

Aw!!!!

Sir-to-K got there ahead of me "Marks and Sparks" lol.

Can you imagine wearing a M&S cardie -- with nothing but your bondage bra underneath???

Willow, my Mum's an Aussie -- you can count on me getting any Anglo references, lol.

As soon as cym mentioned the "Secretary" trailer -- I suddenly realized -- aha! James Spader, right? I saw that trailer not long ago before -- uh, I think "About A Boy" possibly?

And I thought to myself -- oh gosh -- for once in a movie with a kinky side to it -- I get *every one* of the references!
