I confess that I used to think money laundering involved washing counterfeit money like laundry. It made sense to me that bad guys would wash their fake money so it wouldn’t seem crisp and new.

I confess that I once believed that quitting cold turkey involved refrigerated poultry. Like quitting smoking cold turkey? I seriously thought that you replaced cigarettes by smoking slices of cold turkey meat. Laugh it up.

I confess that I miss a lot of really obvious jokes. If it’s not inappropriate or a pun, I probably won’t get it. Then I over-analyze why I didn’t understand it.
I confess that sometimes I don’t get references. “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” or “Saved By the Bell” are two shows that I have not watched, so I don’t get jokes or quotes from them.

What sorts of things have you missed?
Jen says
The cold turkey one has been cracking up. But I agree if a joke isn’t inappropriate I probably won’t get it either.
Stephanie says
I usually don’t get things either. Either I am too literal, gullible, or I just miss the reference. I also have a really bad memory so if someone quotes a movie, I will know it’s from a movie but have no clue which one and then the moment is lost.
Ashley says
I am the same way sometimes. I never get movie references, like ever… even if I’ve seen the movie.

Bahahaha!!! I thought the same about money laundering!! I was a grown adult before I figure it out.. I’m just getting to the money laundering part on Breaking Bad.. (:
Steph says
I don’t get a lot of jokes either. Nor have I seen a lot of movies/shows that people reference regularly. :p
Lauren Zimmerman says
When I was a kid I thought town water towers, you know the big round things w/ the town name on it, were where people went to celebrate baby showers… I look at them now and laugh @ my idiocy!
You’re not alone!
