Of the lighter things in life

Lecturer: What is the theme of this passage?

Me: The benefits of travelling...??

L: Ok... the benefits of travelling are what?

Me: er... the benefits of travelling are.... many??

L: What?? The benefits of travelling are MEN?? It's a bit too early in the day to think about MEN, isn't it??

(I actually CHECKED my watch when I heard that. 1.01pm.)

Me: *Completely befuddled face before realising what he heard* Noo.. MANY.

L: MEN???!

Me: MANYYY....

L: OH, MANY...

-_- This has got to be the worst mishearing I've ever encountered with a teacher/lecturer. Friends don't need to say la, most are too corrupted beyond hope. Haha.

The benefits of travelling are MEN??

Oh my I feel as if I've just made a trip to Thailand for 'benefits'.

Hahaha... ah... what IS my heart's desire? =P

Really, the benefits of travelling are men simply makes me sound like I go around looking for (male) prostitutes. LOL. :)
