Communication breakdown

What I might like most about malapropisms is the absurdity, the way confusion about language leads to silly misunderstandings. It's a little twist to your brain, in the same vein as drawing tenuous connections, making everything into a metaphor, or perceiving things that aren't really happening (see: McGurk Effect). Like, chill.

"Let us know if you née anything else."

Well, maybe it's only funny to me.
