What made you smile recently?

[Yorky]

This evening my wife asked "what is pullover?"
I said "It's a jumper or a woolly"
"What's a curb then?"

I don't understand...

I don't understand...

I think she was asking about a definition of "pullover" in the context of driving, and Yorky misunderstood it as a question about clothing, hence her followup question about the curb/kerb.

She's heard the phrase "pull over to the curb".

Me either.

Imagine a police officer telling someone to "pull over to the curb."

I didn't say it was a great joke, but I did get it.

It wasn't a joke. She actually asked me.

It was the American spelling of curb which threw me. UK spelling is 'kerb'.

I always try to use the English (proper) spelling of words but sometimes the software of the particular application doesn't assist. I'll try to buck up in future.

A couple of years ago there was a bloke in a wet market in Wuhan eyeing up a bat, and he thought to himself "I could stick my finger up that bat's bum, I mean, what's the worst that could happen?"
