This question brought to you by Sbynews reader, Ben:
What's your most embarrassing verbal slip of the tongue?
Ben said, "Saying Ockra instead of Oprah when talking to a table of her fans."
Personally mine (SunnyInOC) was mixing "circumcised" with "baptized." I was about 10. I asked my mom and dad if I had ever been circumcised. I knew as soon as I said it that I said the wrong word. Wow! I still get reminded every so often at age 31.

I knew this guy who was almost 7 feet tall, and I myself am short and for a very long time wished I were much taller. So anyway, in a conversation with several people there including him, I said something along the lines of, "I wish I could have 4 inches of that!" I guess I don't need to say how they took that.

When I was about 6-7 yrs old, I decided I was going to ride one of my brothers bike. The boys bikes had the bar straight across and the girls bike dipped in the middle. Well one day I was riding down my street and the neighbor (a man) was sitting on his step. I fell off the bike and hit the bar in the middle and said "Ouch my balls!" Needless to say I heard the man laughing so hard he rolls off the step and in the grass cracking up. At that age I was thinking whats wrong with that man. Hes crazy! Later I realized what I said and boy was I embarrassed. I still hear that story every once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI once told a one eyed man "good eye" when he saw something before I did.. oooopss, lol He laughed just as hard as I did.

I manage a store in the mall. When it was being built, I would check in once in a while to see how things were coming along. I was really impressed with the new door knocker display and the storage drawers, which had been installed, but no one knew where the keys to the drawers were. When someone asked me how the store was coming along, I replied, "Well, my knockers are going to look great, but no one can get into my drawers." That was a real smack-youself-on-the-forehead moment for me.
ReplyDeleteWhile working,a women came to my shop and we struck up a conversation.She was somewhat older and looked to be very pregnant.Being the dumb blonde that I am,I thought she had just waited to have children.So I asked her,very happily,when her baby was due.She told me,in no uncertain terms that she WAS NOT pregnant but had a tumor that was to be removed that week.Needless to say I never saw her again and I never congradulate anyone for pregnancies!

No, we never let him out of our sight, much less talk to women.
Have a great day, Phluff70
My high school biology teacher asked the question "What do jellyfish have that trail down from their body into the water to entangle, paralyze and capture their prey?" Of course, I knew! "Testicles" I blurted out! My face was so red when I realized I should have said "tentacles".
ReplyDeleteMy most memorable is my cousin from Baltimore used to come stay with us in Tyaskin for a couple weeks every summer. We took her swimming down to an area they call "The Cove" I think she was about 7 or 8 years old. She got stung by a jellyfish and came out of water crying"his testicles got me,his testicles stung me." We still tease her to this day and she is 30 now....
