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.

I was shopping at CitiMall in Passi City last Sunday when I saw a Filipina and her white hubby in tow doing groceries ... and suddenly the lights went off.

Hubby: BROWN-OUT at this time of day?

Wifey: It is all fun in the Philippines honey ... and that includes POWER OUTRAGE!

Then she gave the Filipino shoppers who were amused at their exchange ... a look as though she was saying: "O kitam naka-English ako."

Look lady ... just so you know ... POWER OUTRAGE is not the same as POWER OUTAGE!
