I can never sleep on planes. The noise, the light, it just doesn't work.
I'm also terrible with words in person. I can write fairly well (or so I think), but sometimes words just don't come to me.
I had to take a red-eye flight on Saturday, so I found my wife's eye shade to try and help me sleep. I threw it in my luggage, but as we were driving to the airport I realized I hadn't told her that.
Me: "Hey, I borrowed your eye shadow thing. You know, the blue one."
Wife: "Uhm, ok."
After a bit of awkward silence...
Wife: "I didn't think you had time for that on this trip."
Me: "Well, I figure I would use it on the way over."
Wife (now very confused looking): "You plan on wearing it on the plane? Isn't that a bit obvious?"
Me: "Uhm, yeah, but I can't sleep with all the light from the windows."
Just about that time my wife and I realize I wasn't talking about eye SHADOW, I was talking about the eye SHADE.
Now it's an inside joke. Yet another joy of having an accepting wife :)
