Can you get me some Euthanasia tablets?

Just seen a slightly rattled friend, whose 88 year old mother made the request. After a bit of gentle questioning, she promised to buy her mum some Echinacea tablets to fend off winter bugs, the next time she is in town. 😄

What strange requests have you had?

Aww I love threads like this haha when my son was little he used to like eating Vietnamese whirls and in his teens he told us that he needed a dehumanitiser in his room.
We unfortunately lost him in 2022 aged 22 in an accident and it’s memories like these that make it almost bearable haha he got loads of words muddled up

My friend was grumbling about the lack of quality men in OLD. She announced, “I want a man..who is articulated”.

😂 Actually, I think every house probably has at least one of these!

Tbf pawn and porn sound exactly the same in my accent.

The R in porn is most certainly silent in most of Britain where most people have non rhotic accents

It is in my regional (Midlands) accent. The two words sound identical here. (Which also means that unless it was written down, you'd have no way of knowing if they meant porn or pawn.)

Out of all the other posts above you Kels, yours is the one that made me Laugh Out Loud!

Unfortunately, I think that too many of us could do with the opposite, a very useful humanising machine...

I had to read this one 3 times before I saw what was 'wrong' with the answer @OdeToTheNorthWestWind!!

Another LOL!

Many decades ago my mum worked for the council in the department that dealt with refuse collection and a few other things.

They had some students from Germany for a week or two looking at how things were done here.

At the end of their visit they sent an email round to everyone thanking them for allowing them to see, "the backside of town X".

Please stop it, I'm going to get a stomach ache at this rate! 😂

👍😁

😂😂😂

Did you explain to him, and was he suitably embarrassed... 🙈

A student writing about famous French people; Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak.

Ah, thank you @Agapornis I still hadn't understood what she had meant by vi negar, I do now...

When I was a kid our gossipy next door neighbour once came round to tell my Mum that Lionel Blair had become prime minister. She also used to complain that her neighbour on the other side kept her awake at night typing on his ‘word compressor’

I had a biology teacher who was so careful to always say 'organism' that when we got to human reproduction...

When my dad found out I had Asperger’s, he asked if that meant I was on the “Acoustic Spectrum”

My friend's son came home from school, excited to have made a new friend, called Idiot. Despite gentle questioning, he was adamant that his friend was called Idiot.

The new friend's mother clarified, and confirmed that her son's name was, in fact, Elliot 😅

I was giving someone a postcode on the phone using the phonetic alphabet and said “Y for wankee” instead of Yankee

Also my son when little used to say piss pump instead of fist bump

We have this too. I always wonder if he literacy of the local dogs is up to the job.

Haha! A friend told me she couldn't go to a Catholic funeral because the incest made her eyes water!

Love this. A friend told me she couldn't go to a Catholic funeral "because the incest made her eyes water! "

Think you may have had a sense of humour fail, it was just a light-hearted joke!

My Granny (wife of the man who asked for butt plugs instead of ear plugs in Boots) was bemoaning the numbers of failed marriages: ‘no one believes in monotonous relationships any more’
