Herbie is a dog that loves squeeky plastic balls. However, they do get chewed and then I throw them away in case he swallows the squeeker.
Anyway, it was time to buy him a replacement ball. I went to our local pet shop, where the young chap who works there is very helpful. I walked in the shop and had a look at their range of toys. I couldn't see any plastic squeeky balls so I went to the till and asked the young chap "What have you got in the way of squeeky balls"! I suddenly realised what I had just said (a smutty inuendo - not deliberate) and I could feel my face getting very red ! He said we haven't got any and I had to leave the shop really quickly as I was ready to burst out laughing! He could have made me feel even more embarrassed than I already was if he had replied "Come behind the desk and I'll show you" !!!
Those of you with "smutty minds" will understand what I've just written - those of you with pure thoughts will not have a clue as to what I'm on about!
What I said in the pet shop was not premeditated - the words just came out, but I suddenly realised that what I had said could be... well, misunderstood!
I laughed so much when I got away from the pet shop. It took me a little while to gain courage to go back there at a later date. The young chap still works there and I can't help thinking that when he sees me, he probably thinks "There's the lady who asked if I had squeeky balls"!
I hope this thread gets approved by the Moderators!
Oh it's not just squeeky balls!!! We, or should i say the men in our shop often get asked itf they have "fatballs" meaning the suet ones you put out for the birds. I must admit have been known to reply with "No its just the way they walk!"
one of our products are comfyballs, they are chairs in the shape of large balls, the list of inuendos we have experienced is endless. still helps them stick in peoples minds, those dirty, dirty minds. "is this comffyballs?" says the couier, "yes thanks for asking" comes the reply
i think here in the UK we can pretty well put a double meaning to anything. like an expression for, I got drunk last night. you can use any word or phrase you like to replace the word drunk and most people would know exactly what you meant. "I got totally Labradored last night" or maybe i just drink too much,lol
