One man is telling his friend: “I had the worst Freudian Slip the other day”.
“What is a Freudian Slip?” the friend asks.
“You know, it’s when you mean to say one thing, but you say something else that reveals what you are really thinking about. Like the other day I was at the airport and this really beautiful lady was helping me. Instead of asking her for «two tickets to Finland», I asked her for two tickets to Loveland.”
“Oh, I know what you are talking about,” the friend says, “It’s like the other day when I was having breakfast with my wife. I wanted her to pass me the orange juice, and instead I said: «YOU RUINED MY LIFE!»
