Badly Phrased Quotes

Recommended Posts

Anyone else sometimes completely fuck up phrasing?

 

For example on Wednesday afternoon I was speaking to our technician/film-making guy about my animatic. He said it may help to have a live action sequence at the start to explain it, which would need a child. Considering I had until last night to finish it I said:

 

Unfortunately I can't get my hands on a child in the next twenty four hours

 

...

 

And lots of other examples I'll spare you from.

Only one I can think of was when someone smashed a glass at work... they said: Watch out for the floor!

 

And I theatrically looked around and said: but it's everywhere(!)

Not quite the same. I spent most of today with my project group making a papier mache mask/watching Kill Bill 1 + 2 in between layers while they dried, and as I was leaving, I realised I never covered my hands in pva to pick off later (my favourite ever activity in life) so I exclaimed to my group in a state of hurry/bemusement:

 

Oh! I never used the PVA...I'll give myself a handjob tomorrow.

I currently have your warm seeds in my mouth

 

while eating a tomato.

I'm sure the tomato didn't catch the sexual innuendo.

That stupid bank/mortgage/company/whatever advert where one of them says...

 

'Nothing hidden... just the facts'

Whom are you quoting?

 

Me. I often say "I wish I was dead", in a kinda oh-I'm-so-stupid / I-have-such-regrets / Why-am-I-in-this-situation? way. So, when my friend lost his iPhone, it was literally like, "Oh fuuuuck, I wish you were dead."

In a conversation once, the topic fell on paper airplanes, and when someone described the throwing of one as "flying" it, I exclaimed:

 

"It's not possible to fly an airplane!"

Not quite on topic, but this is from earlier today.

 

 

Tabletop gaming.

 

Me ; "Can I do a poor taste joke."

 

All ; "Yes."

 

Me ; *shakes table*. "Its a Japan scenario!"

 

*realises my friend had a friend out there he hadn't heard back from*

 

"Oh shit, Tom hows your friend?"

 

Tom ; "Probably dead."

 

 

 

Lol.

Was he being serious or making a joke as well? I can't tell.

He was serious. Lol. But we had a joke at the situation (of what I had said) and it wasn't a really close friend. It was a one night stand he had, and the guy remembered his birthday last year and sent some Japanese stuff/other stuff.

 

He hasn't heard from him yet but apparently the internet is fucked out there still etc/so he doesn't know. But we saw the light side of the situation and what I had said. We're good friends so its all good. :p

To be fair, though, ReZ's friends are probably all used to bad and tasteless jokes by now.

Exactly. The guy in question is amazing anyway. The father of a baby there asked him to put the dummy back in his babies mouth and....well that was a mistake. :p
