Classic sketch on word play and English homophones. Even has it's own wikipage. Confusing and amusing if not out-and-out weird. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's strange. I was sure the sketch was called "four candles". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My wife and daugher caught me on one today. We were taking about a photographer friend of my daughter
who had just done a photoshoot of my grandson. I asked, "who else has she shotten"? They thought it was funny. For an instant, I was surprised that i'd used an heretofore unheard-of conjugation. So, in answer to the original question, "when does your native language sound funny"? When I speak it. Edited by luke on 20 December 2014 at 11:14pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
