I thought of this today. I'll start.
I was going on a business trip and would be traveling by car for several hours in somewhat mildly roughterrain to get to my client site. So I was thinking about what kind of car I would drive. Client was paying the freight and told me I'd be driving several hours through mountainous terrain and mountain passes and such so I should get a car that would be suitable.
I call my travel agent and tell her I need a flight, hotel and car. After the flight is booked she asks about the car.
I say to her, "Norma, how about a Hummer?". She says excuse me. "Yeah, I'd like a Hummer". She says "WHAT!". Then it dawns on me she's not realizing I want the Hummer H3 vehicle. So I go one to explain there's a vehicle called a Hummer that's great for rougher terrain.
OMFG... she bursts out laughing. She knew me well and then realized the gaff. But for a moment, well, she surely did misinterpret my request...
