An employee inquired as to when she’d receive “the retirement plague”.
I was happy to give it to her. 
I made a joke out of it but it fell flat with her. No. Sense. Of. Humor. :rolleyes:
Because of my job, and because I have a 25-mile highway commute to get there, I’m pretty familiar with most makes and models of cars and trucks. Yesterday while out running errands, I had to wait for a truck to go by before pulling out of my parking space, and when I saw the model name on it, I had to ask myself, “Who makes the Yarmulke?”
On second look, it was a GMC Yukon XL.
That’s awesome.
My dear old mum would be so stoked if she could turn those off.
Just this morning my husband was discussing his plans for the afternoon - playing fantasy baseball and watching a football game with an old friend in the basement. Then, he announced, at half-time it was possible that they would do each other, with light sabers. :eek:
“Do” does sound a lot like “duel”, in my defense.
In you defense, “duel” is less often used as a verb than as a participle: eg, “dueling banjos.” You’d be more likely still to hear it as a noun: “We’ll fight a duel,” than “We’ll duel each other.”
I heard a couple goodies myself in re Katrina. One Israeli gal said “they’re evacuating the golf course” (gulf coast - her misspeaking, not my mishearing). Then this morning, thru my earwax, I heard that New Orleans is spraying for “wet smell virus” (West Nile virus - they oughta spray for both, actually).
