This was so funny, I just had to share it with the gang! I was in a store with my mother today, one of those stores where they bring in loads of miscellaneous items twice a week and sell them cheap. My mother bought a huge box of Splenda artificial sweetner there once, but they did not have any on this day. My mother asked the young sales lady (about 25 yrs. old) when they would have more in. She said she had no idea since they never knew from one day to the next what would arrive on the pallets, or when the pallets would arrive. My mother didn't understand what she was trying to explain and kept asking about the sweetner. Finally the sales girl said, "I am trying to tell you that we never know what will come in on the pallets or when they will arrive. The pallets are always erotic." I looked at her a bit stunned, wondering if they bring in stacks of old Playboy magazines or something, but she never even blinked an eye, stuttered, stammered or anything. At this point I realized that she didn't know the difference between erotic and erratic, but who was I to correct her? I would rather let her mis-use that word a few more times so others could enjoy it. I have been chuckling over that mangling of English all day, it was one of the best I have heard in a long time!

LOL. Sounds like something that Archie Bunker would say.
