When I saw the name 'Applegate' on the screen, I completely spaced on what her surname was, and said "They're calling it Applegate??", thinking that her facing cancer was being compared in some way to the Watergate scandal.
Of course, this led to much confusion - and maybe a slight degree of offense - on the part of both Ben and Carol's house guest, Luke. I'm still not sure whether or not they thought I was referring to her as an "it".
It wasn't until hours later that I realised my gaffe, and felt suitably embarrassed.
I am such an idiot sometimes.
