The botched joke

Kerry’s allegedly botched joke made me think of an old joke:

A visibly upset woman ran into a friend.  He asked her what was wrong.

“Oh, my God!  I was having lunch with my mother,” she said, “and I made the worst Freudian slip.  I meant to say ‘Please pass the butter.’  What slipped out, though, was ‘You miserable woman.  You ruined my life!'”
