Lost in non-translation

Amusing how conversations can mean different things to different people. It’s even more fun when you see your own conversation and know how others would react to it.

If you are lucky, you can steer a conversation down the sidewalk, then with just the right phrase, people’s minds go right off the curb and into the gutter. And you continue down the sidewalk, leaving the pigs to sputter in the gutter.

But you have to know exactly who you are speaking to, to understand what they mean.

So if you were to monitor my IM chat, you would see her plea…
“I am kneeling before you, subservient.”

And I know that all of your minds will go plunging into the gutter.

But all she was saying was, ‘I am very sorry, can you forgive me?’
