Yogi Berra on my mind

Everyday I am interacting with tons of people for whom English is a second language. Some funny things come out of this:

  • "Do you want one ball or two balls of ice cream?"
  • "Are you growing a baby in your stomach?"
  • "I'm thinking of buying a RangeCruiser"
  • "Want to go see Shutter?" (Mark Wahlberg movie Shooter) Jeff's response, "Is that the movie about the photographer?"
  • They don't laugh at the fellow pilots' surname of Titzmann.

OK, so maybe these aren't really malaprops, but they do make me giggle.
