A misused word, a misremembered song lyric, a cream pie that just happened to be there: tell us about a time you (or someone else) said or did something unintentionally funny.

A typo in a Cathay Pacific inflight entertainment list. A song… never got to listen to it…. but I figured I’d write it myself

Am I Wasting My Tie On You Baby?

I haven’t written the tune yet, but it’s country song, so it’ll be E,D & A probably……

Verse

The date was for eight but you were late

You didn’t want fish, you didn’t want steak

You dressed right down but it’s a fancy place

Could you have been my big mistake?

Chorus

         Am I wasting my tie on you baby?

         It cost ten bucks from a fancy store

         I wanted a yes, you gave me a maybe

         Now I aint so sure I should have asked for more

And so on, a singalong piece of jukebox misery. Suitable for sad cowboys and men who’ve been on the road for far too long.

A selection of my fanciest ties.
