Today I want to talk about.....

.....Porpoise Sex Toys. It was a topic that came up in conversation today. Obviously, not a discussion that everyone has but, where I live, it's the norm rather than the exception :)

I was thinking about Manatees (as you do) and how they are known commonly as "sea cows". A little odd, I thought, as you rarely hear of Manatee Mozzarella! My housemate, being extremely well-read on the subject of aquatic mammalia, mentioned Dugongs. "Dugongs", I remarked, "is that the Manatee equivalent of a sex toy?" I will admit that I was only half-listening (and half-joking) and this is where my misunderstandings occur, but, in addition I do possess a level of naivety akin to a 7 year old in some respects. (I have since Googled Dugongs and very nice they seem too - for a mammal!)

A further example of my selective hearing/general confusion is the delightful Portsmouth band "Speed the Collapse". I totally misheard that when I met them and was referring to "Speedy Flaps" for at least 2 months! Again, Google (and the aid of slightly more sane friends) is a useful tool. But, where would everyone I know be without my constant confusion? It's good for yet another embarrassing Vicky anecdote if nothing else.

To summarise, the topic of this blog was technically "selective hearing" and not Porpoise Dildos, but where's the fun in that?
