My dear husband is an electrical engineer, and quite talented as far as mathematics, calculus and physics are concerned. However, words are not his thing....

He has made quite a few hilarious malapropisms -- one of which I'll share with you.

Some time back we were on a section of our property, looking through a telescope at some bums who were camped on our land. We were trying to decide if we should approach them, or call the sherriff.

Well, I was looking through the telescope (which was 45x power!) at this group of fellows, and said to my husband, "oh, one of them's walking this way."
"What's he doing?" Richard asked.
"Uh oh," I said, "he's taking a leak!"

And Richard, indignant that I was still looking after I knew what the man was doing, said:
"You voyageur!"
