Zephyr Posted September 30, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 30, 2017 My former Boss would often say "Don't listen to what I say, listen to what I mean." Occupational hazard for me, I just assume everyone is lying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted September 30, 2017 Share #13 Posted September 30, 2017 The meaning depends on who says the words. If my brother says, "Let's eat at a good restaurant," he means one with really good food and preferably cheap. If the woman I'm dating says, "Let's eat at a good restaurant," she means Ruth Chris Steakhouse or Fogo de Chao in Baltimore, Les Folies Brasserie in Annapolis, or something similar that will empty my wallet.

MickinMD ★ Posted September 30, 2017 Share #14 Posted September 30, 2017 Sometimes the meaning isn't clear. A soldier got a letter from home, read it, and began to cry. He read it again and laughed. Then he read it again and cried, then again and laughed. The rest of the platoon asked him why the same letter was generating different emotions. "Well," he replied, "If it's an 'o' my uncle shot himself." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
