By far one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in my almost-22-years of existence!
The following is an actual conversation between a not-so-proficient-in-English colleague of mine and me (okay, okay, I am not all that great in English either!) :
Shreesha: Hmm.. I hope the manager doesn't come here tomorrow to inspect our work. I need to leave a little early. He is at XYZ & Co. now, they have a deadline sometime soon.
Colleague: Yes, I know, I can't stand him. When is their deadline?
Shreesha: On the seventeenth of this month.
Colleague: Seventeen or seventy?
Yeah, dear colleague, the reporting is happening on the seventieth of this month! :-|
Comments are most welcome!!
