Fork Andles

Very funny thing happened today. My friend next door phoned up with his heavy Dutch accented English, and asked what I thought to be, to borrow my axe. Off I went to fetch it from the front. Meanwhile my wife Jan answered the door, there was said friend smiling and thanking her for what she thought was the axe. I appeared with the axe, he looked at me then Jan wondering what was going on. He had asked to borrow two eggs!!!!!!!! We all then had a good laugh about such a misunderstanding.
