Well...I have to buy something embarrassing, and my mum called because she was making a list. She said to me when I told her what I needed "Can't you go get them from it end of the road?!" and I said, "No, I'm going out." To which she said "Why on earth does that matter!?" I said "Erm, no Mum, I'm going *out*." She still didn't see the problem, so she hung up - thinking I was being stupid; then called back laughing down the phone, realising what she'd suggested.
Not that funny unless I fill in the blank of what I needed, and you were there!
