misheard
cello, funny, Portland June 16th, 2007This morning, I dropped my cello off to get the last of its big repairs done (yay!), and I stopped at Tiny’s coffee shop on the way home to. . .uh. . .get some coffee. After I made my order, the barista guy asked, “How’s your weekend going so far?”
“Great,” I replied. “I just dropped my cello off. It’s getting fixed.”
He stared at me, dumbfounded, with a horrified look on his face.
“What?” I asked, smiling.
“You CHOPPED your TOE OFF? Jesus! Are you okay?”

That’s slightly amusing, to the point that it actually made me giggle. Small things in life is what makes good humor.

You should go see (or rent) the French movie “The Page Turner.” Kind of a psychological horror story about musicians, with lots of piano music. And an incident with a cello that oddly coincides with the barista’s mishearing of your news….
