Lost in translation...
SWMBO will be here when the washing machine man comes round to drop the report off and collect the fee for it.
I told her to make sure the invoice is with the report so we can send to Argos to claim the fee for the report back from them.
What invoice how does that work? How do we get his voice to Argos. SWMBO was hearing my words as "get the report in voice"
Has anyone else got tales of misunderstandings in translation?

My wife used to say fork and knife.
It took me ages to get her to say knife and fork.
With her accent the former could easily be misinterpreted by the listener
I'll say no more.
