In the RAF, a bloke in front of me in the queue at the Tool Store asked for some paint brushes.

"I got 3", 2" or 1" said the Storeman .

"Hmmm" He replied "How big are the 2 inch ones ? "

True story.

Not my mate but me actually, when ordering a Viz magazine subscription and the girl on the phone asked me if I wanted 10 issues and I thought she said "tennis shoes " I immediately thought I had dialed the wrong number. The conversation got even more bizarre when I told her that she hadn't even asked me what my shoe size was.
My wife listening to the conversation twigged my stupidity and I couldn't even understand why she was crying with laughter.

(rofl) Had a similar surreal experience the other day, the phone salesman was talking about new discounts and I was wondering why he was promoting naked vampires.

Someone told my wife today that she'd received a call from an Indian lady who asked if she could check her unclaimed PPI's.

She replied that there was nothing wrong with her eyesight !
