Homonyms...

Sometimes, words just don't translate from person to person, despite speaking the same language.

Patron: I need books about bowling for class.

Me: Books on bowling?
Patron: Yeah, it's the only thing I could think of that other's weren't doing.

Me: *searches*  Okay, they're over here.

Patron: *scratches head*  Bowling.  With a 'u'.

Me: *bowling with a 'u'?  Bulling?*  *lightbulb*  Bullying!

Patron: Yeah, exactly!

Me: *laughing to myself over my error*  In that case, they're over here.

Patron: *laughing with me*
