slip of the tongue

I called up a local mechanic early this morning because my car's brakes needed to be looked at. When the guy answered the phone, instead of asking if the shop was open already for customers, I accidentally said, “Hi. I was just wondering if you’re awake already.” It took him what seemed like an entire minute to stop laughing. Fine, I admit it, I cracked up, too. It was inexplicably funny at the time, okay.

I don't sleep, I'm weird. I sleep just enough, and I'm still weird. I love how I amuse myself. But hey, evidently I amuse other people, too. So that makes it all right.

What made you laugh today?
