Abbott and Costello have a famous comedy sketch in which they talk about the members of a baseball team, and get hopelessly confused in the process. It's funny because not only is it a sketch of masterful comedic timing, but it's often true.
I say one thing, you hear another. You say something back, and I interpret it completely differently. Communication, even between the best of teammates and the closest of friends, can occasionally get tangled.
Can you remember a time when you got in the "Abbott and Costello" pickle with another person? Tell us about it!
It happens every week to me where I say one thing and someone in my family hears something else. Communicating is an art. The Abbott & Costello routine is so funny.
