Literal Larry

Literal Larry is the subconscious personality in all of us that comes out when conversing with another individual. He hears a sentence, comment, statement or question from a person, and instantly distorts it by conjoing words initially intended to have a different meaning...and then responds to the newly constructed grouping of words instead of the original intended ones...

1.)
Me: What did she look like?
You: She was short, cute, spanish, glasses.
Me: anddd what do spanish glasses look like?

Oh! oops, sorry that was literal larry...

2.)

Surely you can´t be serious!
I am serious, and don´t ever call me Shirly.

Literal larry struck again!
