I get tongue-tied often and seem to excel at stumbling my way through voice messages.
Today I was leaving a voicemail message for someone when a colleague stepped into my office to ask something. As I was leaving the message, I stated that the "patient had presented with shortness of breasts." When I tried to correct myself and say breath, I said breasts again. My buddy started cracking up at me which got me tickled, and I managed to laugh my way through the rest of the message. Unfortunately it was not one where you could re-record your message!
When he returned my call, I apologized for the awkwardness, and we both got a good laugh out of it.
Apparently I have breasts on the brain today.
