Slip of The Tongue

An occasional slip of the tongue ... or a slip of the pen is normal and is quickly forgiven by the person listening or reading... that is ... if they even notice it. Even when they do, most people most of the time will recognize a slip of the tongue or pen for what it is and realize that what you meant to say or write ... is not what you did say or write.

This is a classic Melanie Marquez blunder- Miss International 1979.

When interviewed Melanie blurts out:

"I don't eat meat ... I am not a CARNIVAL". 

When she meant CANNIBAL.
