GSOH ?

Have you ever said anything tongue in cheek only to have it fall flat on its face because the other person took it literally?
My SOH must be very esoteric (or unique to me ?) because it does happen ??
I have just jokingly commented that our planned Book Group lunch in a local pub marquee might count as a “Business or Working Lunch” which allows more than 6 according to what I read in today’s paper, only for one member to earnestly text me back to say she was sure the pub would be Covid compliant or we could split into two groups.
BTW we may possibly be 7 but will probably only be 5 or 6 as it happens.
I’ll get me coat.
