[Bananas Foster, a flaming dessert.](http://www.gumbopages.com/food/dessert/ban-foster.html) I do things like the OP all the time. And I speak very strange sentences at times. I like to think that my brain is just faster than my mouth can react to the orders. I’m already thinking of other things by then. I also think that my mouth is dyslexic–I’ll say it’s cold when I really mean hot. Just weird is what it is. ---

I dropped my Sprite can into the hamper instead of my wet towel after the shower. I tried to drink my towel. :smack: ---

> [@kittenlm](#): > > I’m notorious for speaking before really thinking. I mix up all kinds of sentences on a daily basis. “You were snoring like a light” was one of Hal’s favorites. My ex used to mix up her cliches too. Once, impressed with the fact that I read a street sign far off in the distance, she said “Wow, Crayons! You have the eyes of a bat!” :dubious: ---

I almost swallowed the wrapper, and only just noticed the different taste of chocolate and tin foil. I am slowly going insane. That is all. That’s not insane.

> [@Chefguy](#): > > I was shot in the Sudan once. Hurt like hell. I bet you couldn’t Sudan for a week. If I’m doing something repetative with two choices, like pitting olives and putting the pits in one bowl and olives in another, I will unconsciously switch bowls at some point and get two mixed bowls which I then have to labouriously sort out. Same with peeling prawns, stringing beans, etc. Oh, and I put salt in my GF’s coffee the other day. I carefully poured it into the teaspoon to make sure it was level, put it in and stirred. At no point did the brain say “hang on, the sugar doesn’t come in a little container with a pouring spout, but in larger container with a screw-on lid”. Or if it did I wasn’t listening. ---
