My husband started out as a freshman in mechanical engineering. He was fascinated by mechanisms and linkages. One day at work, he was discussing with her his attempts to find a new apartment to rent. He hated the dorm and wanted a new place. She told him to come over to her building and take a look and see if he would be interested in a currently vacant apartment. When he went over, she showed him what her own apartment looked like before he talked to the manager.
Well, lo and behold, her apartment had a Murphy Bed. He spied it and decided that he wanted to see what the mechanism for the bed looked like and how it worked since he was fascinated with linkages. No sexual intent on his part for the next bit, he swears. So what comes out of his mouth all innocent like? He asks:
"Can I take a look at your bed?"
Oops!
When he got that Christmas card all these years later, he FINALLY realized what he'd said, because she told him in her card that it came off as something totally different back when he said it. Even funnier, she kept her mouth shut, showed him the bed and he never realized how she perceived his request until NOW.
