Barbara Walters was on the David Letterman show last week. She was discussing her upcoming interview with Monica Lewinsky. She was referring to Monica's low key lifestyle now. Ms. Walters says she just stays inside, knits, 'and hasn't opened her mouth in the last year, at least to talk.' Her comment left Letterman dumfounded and a very red Ms. Walters.

I had a student this semester write a paper which concluded with the following statement. 'I think all people should be exposed to different faucets of society.'

I was totaling my hours up and turned to my co-workers and said 'Hey, what time did we leave tomorrow?' 'What?' they said, except for one who said, 'No, he means what time, did we leave tomorrow.' 'Think about what you're saying.' they said in response. 'Oh' we said.

One of these mornings you are going to wake up dead. (uhm, no.)

My college biology teacher, Dr. Frasch, was talking about the cells involved in reproduction. He meant to say, today we are going to talk about sexual life cycles, but instead he said, 'Today we are going to talk about sexual life styles' (I'm sorry if you don't think this verbal typo is as funny as I think it is. It's a shame you couldn't be there to see how red his face turned :)

My husband and I were leaving a restaurant one night after eating with my parents. They had recently had trouble with their van, and my mother called me after we arrived home and said, 'You didn't wait around to see if we needed to be jacked off or not!' (she meant to say jumped off with jumper cables)

My husband was sound asleep and he turned to me and said 'Wind the window up!' I replied 'Why?' and having heard me he said 'Because the cat will get into the car.' Having had a successful reply, I continued the conversation with my sleeping husband. I said 'What will happen if the cat gets in the car?' He replied 'It'll get us' and the losing patience with my asking questions of him, he said in a frustrated tone 'Fine... don't wind the window up! It's open on your side and it'll get you first!' He was very embarrassed when I repeated the conversation to him the following morning! It's amazing what people dream about!

At camp this summer, we were talking about finishing something up, and Christoph made some comment about how he remembered being happy that morning. When we asked him why, he said 'I was happy that morning, because I got up.' It's probably not as funny now, but it was hilarious!

One day in gym I said to my buddy Marguerite, 'we have gym today right?' when she didn't answer I said, 'I guess not,' and then realized we were in gym. oops

I am not under the affluence of inchol! - some guy at a party

Smegma: I'd never heard of it until it came out of Tom's mouth.

A case where the mouth can't keep up with the brain: I was talking to my mother and I was bored so I said 'I think I'll put the ditheth in the dithwather.' That 'th' sound just took control!

After my nephew 'scared' my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law said 'you shocked me.' Since he's Australian, it came out as shucked. Later, my nephew asked my sister what 'f---ed' means. My sister had no idea how to answer.

The winters here in Minnesota can be pretty rough. Especially on your car in subzero weather. After spending yet another blustery cold morning getting the car to start, I was telling my co-worker how lucky she was to have a car for her garage. It wasn't until she gave me this funny look that I realized I had mixed up the words car and garage. I think my brain was still frozen when I said it. We got a good laugh out of it! - dmr

Don't speak and talk! - Kiely (ie Don't eat and talk!)

One day my friends and I were making fun of today's slang (such as coolness) by adding -ness to the end of words. We came up with some normal words in the wrong context like 'Turn on the LIGHTNESS' but the highlight of the fun was when my friend got up and said, 'Well, I gotta pee-ness!' We all cracked up because for one thing, the friend was a girl and there was no way that what she said was true!! She just ran for the bathroom to hide and, well...

I had gone to a restaurant (Friendly's) with my boyfriend for ice cream one night, and instead of asking for a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Sundae, I asked for a 'Reese's Penis Butter Cup... ', then burst out laughing hysterically!!!! - Kara

Can a person survive with only one liver? (a question in my biology class)

Remind me to go to the band room to pick up my nuts after school... actually they're not mine, they're my brother's.' (A female friend said this to me and a group of friends at lunchtime. She didn't understand why we were laughing so hard until we explained to her what she had said. She was actually referring to the cans of mixed nuts that she had sold for a fundraiser, of which we were unaware. That made it all the more funny!)

My mother stood in front of the freezer one evening and yelled to me across the house, 'Do I have Chicken Breasts?' To which I answered, 'No, your huge'

A friend of mine was on a date with her boyfriend and meaning to order oil and vinegar dressing, he accidentally asked for vinegar and water dressing. Without blinking the waiter asked 'would you like any other feminine hygiene products on your salad, sir?' - Taylor

I just hate it when people ask me food and I have questions in my mouth!' Ellie B

It's been soon anytime now! said quite seriously by an impatient friend

As a high school teacher, I am used to hearing students make verbal 'typos' and I usually quickly jump in with the slightly contemptuous comment, 'Open mouth, insert foot.' Imagine the extra hilarity the time I jumped in with, 'Open foot, insert mouth.' - E. K. Shang

At an academic competition, a proctor said, after reading the question, 'a) the heterozygote progeny of the orgasm would be Aa.' Not realizing what he said until after all 1300 of us were cracking up. The next question very few schools answered correctly. He then said 'Apparently everyone was too busy thinking about their personal lives after that last question.'

While rolling cookie dough to eat with some ice cream, I remarked to my friends, 'My balls are rounder than anyone else's.'

One evening to my little brother during dinner 'Don't talk with your mouth open!'

Once, during my freshman history class in high school, a student was reading out-loud from text that was given to us. She stumbled across the phrase 'He fingered the nation...' and, being average 14 year-olds, we all started laughing about it as a sexual inuendo. The teacher thought it was funny too, only she thought it was referring to flipping someone off. So, she added 'Or do it the Russian way and use all five fingers! That way no one recognizes what your doing!' Which, naturally, sent us in to even more hysterical laughter... The teacher never caught on!

Hey, fella, I head ya! (while chatting in a chat room, this was one gal's reply to a guy's political commentary... she intended to key 'Hey fella, I hear ya!'... Needless to say, the topic of discussion changed from politics rather rapidly!

My friend was trying to cook dinner, and I was just sitting at the dinner table reading a magazine. Suddenly she said what I thought was 'I'm cooking and you're not even Elvis!'. Luckily, I had misheard her and she had actually said, 'I'm cooking and you're not even helping!'

I work for a company that prints custom T-shirts, and one day one of our salesmen said he was going to stop by a customer of his that sells lumber. He was telling me how he had a design idea in mind for them. As a take off on the 'Got Milk?' adds he had sold a shirt design to a brewery saying 'Got Beer?'. He said he thought this idea would work really well for the lumber yard. In all seriousness, he was going to propose they print the backs of their shirts with 'Got Wood?'.

I was in a hotel in New York and I was calling home. I was complaining about the elevators because my friend and I never seemed to get an elevator going the right way. I said 'I think that half of the elevators go up and half of them go down!' The funniest part is that I didn't realize what I had said until after my friend had explained it to me. - Tamazine

I was in class one day when the discussion of old teachers came up. Well of course having to get my two cents in I start talking about my old teachers. I said: 'Yeah all of my old teachers were nuns...' Well then halfway through a fellow classmate said, 'All your teachers Had GUNS?!' It wasn't that funny except that's what she thought and she made a really worried face.

I was at a friend's house and just to kill some extra time, we were reading through some of her childhood books. She was reading out of a book of children's poetry at the time. I was across the room, and this what transpired: What she said: "My brother's head should be Replaced!" (which was the name of a poem). What I heard: "My brother has a sh**ty fireplace!" Upon hearing what I thought I heard, I became concerned... my friend has no siblings, let alone a fireplace. But what most amazed me was the fact that I thought that she had read that out of the book. I asked, "Why is that in a book for kids?" Upon receiving a wierd confused look, I repeated the phrase that I thought she had said. After a good long laugh at my expense, she told me what she had REALLY said. We still point that out to people who tell us that neither of us can hear all that well. :)

I'm trying to learn how to drive a stick shift, and my parents get really frustrated when I stall the car trying to get it into first smoothly. I've done it a couple times, so one time after I'd stalled it about 10 times in a row, my mom said, "You've done it once, so you can do it before!" - Lauren

While trying to give some instruction on how to keep a small problem from becoming a major problem to a male co-worker our department had just discovered to be gay. My boss said "Nip it in the butt, man surely you know how to handle that!" Of course, we all knew she meant to say, "Nip it in the BUD"!

one time, my 6 year old sister was walking with my grandfather on a windy day and her hat blew off. while chasing after it, she shouted, "come back here you f***in' hat!!" my grandfather was stunned!

"Need something to do honey? Go make yourself useless in the kitchen"-Meg (an oh-so-loving father to his daughter while preparing Christmas dinner)

"The computers yet again are filled with catastrophe." (a friend had problems with the computers at school)

"Just because it's Miles, doesn't mean you don't have to listen!" My 7th grade science teacher....during my extra credit report on Apoptosis-PCD (programmed cell death)

I had a friend in college who told me this story. One day she explained her choice of clothing to her roomie by saying, 'This shirt just leapt out of my closet and said, 'Wear me, wear me!'' For most of the morning, she continued in this vein. Doors said, 'Open me, open me!' and so forth. When she saw a car that someone was having trouble starting, she immediately exclaimed, 'Jump me, jump me!' in a very perky voice. Needless to say this caused much hilarity. Especially once she realized what she had said.

My old phys-ed instructor was rather dim. He used to say 'if it fits the shoe, wear it' and 'line up in pairs of three.' My uncle had also had this teacher, 20 years earlier, and he'd been obliviously saying 'pairs of three' all that time. My uncle used to get his buddies together in groups of six, which annoyed the teacher to no end. He never did figure it out.

A friend and I were sitting in class and she pointed out that the guy in front of me had a piece of trash sticking out of his waistband. I said loudly, 'Chris, you have something in your pants!'

Shh! I can smell gas!

One day while talking with some friends about camping, we got on the subject of marshmallows and how each of us liked them heated up. so without thinking about what I was saying I said 'I like to get them flaming, then blow on them, then I like to just suck them off'

We were driving in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we saw a license plate from Hawaii. My little brother asked how they got it over here, to which my mother smartly replied, 'Well they drove it over of course!'

Jason was telling us about this giant squid he saw pictures of, with eyes as big as dinner plates, and 'thirty foot testicles'. He meant to say tentacles. This was in our 7th period class, with our nice middle aged teacher leaning in to hear the conversation. We'll never let him live that down.

When my son was very young I gave him a boysenberry yogurt. As I was eating mine he asked if I was eating girlsenberry yogurt. - A mom

I was taking a breakfast order one morning (as a waitress), and one gent ordered a dish I had never heard of. I wrote down what he said, in hopes that the cook would have an idea what 'quimby-fashioned eggs' might be. The cook sent me back out to the table, and red-faced, I asked how the cook might prepare that particular dish. The gent then started howling with laughter, and so did I once he informed me that he simply wanted corned beef, hash and eggs!!

My daughter was supposed to be doing a job. Hubby got irritated and yelled at her, "don't just do something, stand there!"

After a long, panicked email about the upcoming disasters of Y2K, the sun cycles, and environmental woes, my daughter added as a P.S. 'how long does canned ravioli last?'

Note: Under verbal typos you have 'if the foo shits' instead of 'if the shoe fits' That is actually a joke! See, there's a mountain in a place far, far away and on that mountain lives the one and only foo bird. Everyone knows not to disturb the foo bird, b/c if you do, it will poop on you, and if you wipe off its poop, you will die. So one man was not afraid of this old story and he started climbing up the mountain. Sure enough, the foo bird pooped on him and when he wiped if off, he died. The moral is, if the foo shits, wear it.

My friends cat had just died, and after burying him, she came to my house where i was sitting with another friend of ours.. she sits down and says 'well. we had to bury buster today' and our friend, with all seriousness goes 'but why?'

"There are two ways of doing things; the wrong way and my way." - my Dad

I was eating a cup of crushed ice one day at work and I had to go in the back room for a minute. When i came back out one of my co-workers said to me 'I ate your ass' or at least that's what i thought he said. He really said 'I ate your ice'.

My niece who is four years old told her mother ,after having a bath one day, that her hair was , 'so damn soft.' thinking that she meant damp or something the mother asked, ' What does that mean?' the girl replied, 'Ya know, really really soft.' The mother then had to tell the girl to sit there while she left the room- so that she could laugh out loud.

My friend was really tired one night and wanted to go to sleep, but I wasn't tired. So he told me, 'you can keep talking but i won't guarantee that I'll listen' but when I heard that, I thought he said 'You can't find a good gambling spot in L.A.' This may not be too funny to anyone else but I thought it was hilarious!!

"There are 2 ways to do it: my way and the right way" - my sleep deprived sister

One day in English in High school, we were reading a play. My teacher, Mr. Yates, was reading the leading male role ( Tommy ) and my friend, Annie, was reading the main female role, who's name was Annie as well. Tommy and Annie are married, and in this scene, Tommy is telling Annie how much he loves her. Tommy (Mr. Yates): You know that I love you Annie. I have for three years. Annie: Yeah, I know, but that doesn't change anything. Tommy: But it should, I mean, how can I love you and not give you an .. A .. (you see, the next word was 'kiss' so, he when he said 'an' instead of a, he was just correcting the incorrect English. So, it sounded like Mr. Yates was saying 'If I love you, how can I not give you an A (like the grade). To make things worse , at that exact moment, our other teacher came in. There were only me, Annie, Mr. Yates, and 2 other people there , and it sounded like he was telling Annie that it didn't matter that he was her teacher, and that he loved her too much to let her fail. If that teacher had come in 3 seconds earlier or later, this wouldn't have happened or been funny.

My best friend, my boyfriend, and I were playing around and when we got tired, we all lay on my bed in a weird knot...My friend thought this looked kinda strange, so she said, 'What if somebody comes in?' But this is what my boyfriend and I heard, 'Did someone just come in me?'

My algebra teacher, "Who wants me? Make me feel good... I mean, who wants to make me feel good by telling me you at least wrote down the rules..."

My French teacher before a test- Now, you all take out a piece of sheet! (He means a piece of paper. We had a blast with this one!!!)

So one time myself and two friends were just lazing around after having dinner at Sonic. They gave some of those little starlight-mints and my friend David, a fiend for them, took all three. Myself and my other friend, Shane were in conversation when we realized David wasn't saying much. Between starlight-mints he managed to garble out, 'I'm too busy sucking and swallowing to say anything.' Needless to say, we all just lost it.

(In 1st grade) Student: What is the F word that we aren't supposed to say? (after asking annoyingly for awhile) Teacher: (whispers) F**k the F word (apparently, she forgot the 'is', she also didn't realize 1/2 the class told the kindergarteners, while the other half ran around screaming 'F**K!!' on the playground to make trouble. I wonder what ever happened to that teacher...)

My Algebra teacher, Mr. Owens, would constantly use the phrase 'B as in botulism' whenever we checked our math homework (i.e. 'Now, part B as in botulism'). One day, our class asked him just what the heck botulism is. He replied, 'Well, it's an orgasm that grows and grows...' -Logan

Is the Pope Jewish? - Whitney during social studies class

Are there any Protestants left? - Whitney (again) during social studies class

One afternoon I was driving my 7 year old son and his best friend to the video store to rent games for the Sega Genesis. We were driving down the street and I inquired of the children what game they were going to rent. Scott, the friend, replied, 'We're going to rent the Masturbator.' Totally shocked, I asked him again and he replied, 'We're going to rent the Masturbator.' Trying to keep my cool, I asked him what this game had on it and where he had seen it. He replied, 'You know, that fishing game. We've played it at your house before.' What he was referring to was the fishing game called the Bass Masters!!!!! It still makes me laugh; one of those 'You had to be there' things. Paula

I was at an overnight leadership session and I met a girl and she was telling me how she had a hard time putting her cat together when she arrived and that her cat was dirty and she didn't want to sleep on it.....here she was talking about a cot and her accent just made it sound like she was saying cat.

My parents took a trip to Canada and they were given a Toblerone candy bar (the ones in the triangular package). Well I was at my friends house and she opened her cupboard and I spied that unmistakable triangular shaped package with toblerone written on the side and I said 'ohh you guys have one of those too'. She responded with yes and I said 'well we did have one but we ate ours already' and she gave me the dumbest look in the world and said 'you ate your soap?'. (Here toblerone makes soap and candy bars, we had quite a good laugh.)

My friend and I were standing in line on a set of steps and I was on the step above her and she said something mean to me so I said 'I'll knock you down' and she responded with 'I'll knock you up'.

Time wounds all heels… - unintentionally said at a funeral by my friend who would be mortified to see her name here (from Kelsey)

Every time I hear that phone, it's ringing. - Heather (from Kelsey)

My science teacher once told me to 'stand up so I can knock you down.' Me, trying to have a come back accidentally said to my already standing teacher, 'sit down so I can knock you up' The class started laughing and it took me a minute to get it.

The World According to Student Bloopers
Richard Ledere, St. Paul's School

"

The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain.


The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked "Am I my brother's son?" God asked Abraham to sacrifice Issac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Issac, stole his brother's birthmark. Jacob was a partiarch who brought up his twelve sons to be partiarchs, but they did not take to it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites. Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar.
