Canx trip!
I’LL TAKE TWO PICKETS TO TITTSBURGH
As the story goes, two gents from Philadelphia wished to take a road trip to see the Phillies play the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Discussing the logistics, one of the two worked closed to the train station and they decided that taking the train would more to the road trip experience than driving and the plans were laid. One gent would secure tickets to the game and the other would secure the train passage. The next day as they were firming up the details the one gent revealed that he had gotten great seats just above the Phillies dugout for the weekend series and he wanted to know if his friend and gotten the train tickets arranged.
“No, I didn’t get the tickets yet.”
“Why not, your office is next door to Union Station. What’s wrong? The train is going to fill up if you don’t get the tickets tonight.”
“Well, I just got so flustered I couldn’t get the tickets.”
“What?”
“Yeah, I went to get the tickets this afternoon actually, and when I got to the ticket window, there was this woman behind the counter that had the most enormous rack I’d ever laid eyes on. I mean these things were like beach balls.”
“Wow…So I don’t get it. Where are the tickets? How does her rack keep you from buying the tickets?”
“Well, I started to tell her I wanted two tickets to Pittsburgh and I was staring at her melons and I said “I need two pickets to Tittsburgh.”
“Ha Ha”
“No you don’t understand. She got all indignant and said “Excuse me?” She was a bit upset.”
“What did you do?”
“Well, I just sort of stammered and stuttered and then just turned around and left.”
“Man, you shouldn’t let stuff like that bother you. It’s called a Freudian slip. It happens all the time. You mean to say one thing and something else that’s in the back of your mid slips out instead. It’s no big deal.”
“Really, this was awkward.”
“Naw, buddy, like I say, it happens all the time. It’s harmless. Why just the other night me and the missus were having dinner at home and I wanted to tell her to pass the green beans and I had a Freudian slip myself.”
“Really, what did you say?”
“I looked at her and instead of saying ‘Honey, would you please pass the green beans,’ I said ‘you miserable bitch you’ve ruined life.”
