On one occasion somebody said "Can I do such and such?" My boss said "Yes you can"... other person smirks because they have won, unti my boss continued with "but you may not". Confusion on face of other person who then made the mistake of saying "What do you mean? It's the same thing". Lesson in the meaning of words followed whilst other person tried to hide. The rest of those in the meeting thought it was funny too.
One of ambulance crew asked "can I use your toilet", and I replied " Yes I'm sure you could and you may use it to see if you can " Another asked " Can I borrow your toilet" to which I replied, " of course: so long as you put it back when you're finished with it"
