Yesterday's update - b/c who really talks about the present

So I ask of him, as I wander out of Longsworth House Building lost.  "I am looking for a wall lined with benches."
He stares at me blankly. "Come again"
" they told me they were outside on they wall lined with benches."
Again he stares at me curiously. "A wall lined with what?!"
I repeat " bench"
LIGHT BULB MOMENT
"You thought I said... oh noo I mean benches, she's sitting down"
Security gurad " I haven't seen that in DC."
"Really?!" I say, " I expect to see a whole lot of eveything"

I glad that on a daily basis, my mispoken words, phrases, and anecdotes make somebodies day.
