MUSE OR AMUSE… Bokkle and Sanders
Did you ever hear about the bokkle? Did you ever hear of someone asking or tell you about the bokkle? Were you ever offered a bokkle of beer? A bokkle of water? Did you get the bokkle? Hilarious?
No, serious! Where did bokkle come from? Maybe someone can tell us. But, friends, I hope when you drink, you do so from a bottle. Break the bokkle; use bottle.
Need a pair of sanders? I was recently in the lovely company of a university graduate, let’s call her Rebecca. She was charming and well-mannered – that is, until the sanders came up. Yes, you read this correct. Sanders became the subject matter.
Our conversation started off very pleasantly; she was cheerful and sweet. Educated; after all, a university graduate. Then she said to me, “I would like to buy a pair of sanders. What do you think is the best?”
Whoa! Did I hear correct? What is “sanders”? Maybe she’s talking about the sanding machine? My mind reeled. I didn’t want to appear dumb to this Grad. Maybe it was a new fashion? So, I timidly asked, “Pardon me? You want to buy…?”
“Man you deaf? I wan’ buy sanders?” She was getting a bit irritated with me. But, what sanders? My mind was racing. A sexy new thing? I wonder if it’s pink? Or red? Maybe it was lacy? Or sheer nylon? Maybe I could offer to buy for her? After all, she mentioned it to me! But how do I ask her to describe it for me? I want to learn about this new sexy thing….but suppose she ridicules me?
Anyway, I built up my courage and said to her that I didn’t hear about that one. Sanders was a new brand maybe? And then abuse started. Rebecca was on fire. She called me uneducated and unread! She wants to simply buy sanders! How come I didn’t know about sanders when I was wearing sanders?
Poor me. I still didn’t know what she was talking about. So I asked her to spell it for me since, yes, I was probably uneducated. And she did! S-A-N-D-E-R-S!
Then for some reason, my toes curled as the penny dropped in place. “Footwear?” I asked. “YES!” she shouted, “You finally got it you dunce!”
Do you get it?
Do you wear sandals or sanders. I am amused.
