We all have them. Those moments in time when we wish we could take back what we had just said or done. I have two very embarassing moments in my life that just won't leave my brain. Here they are:

1. When I was living in a small town of 5,000 (okay so that is a big town in South Dakota) the community churches got together to organize a singles group of middle aged adults. I was the representative from my church. Our first meeting I did my best to try to remember everyone's name and socialize with all. After the meeting 20 of us went to a local cafe to have coffee. I sat next to two men. For the life of me I kept trying to remember their names. Then it came to me the guy on my left was named Rich.

So I looked at him and said "Are you Rich?".

He gave me this puzzled look.

Again, I said "You're Rich aren't you?".

He gave me the puzzled look again.

So, I said "I thought you were Rich."

Finally he said "I'm just a poor farmer. My name is Don. Rich is at the other end of the table."

I so wanted to crawl under the table.

2. In high school I sang in the church choir which is always seated in front of the congregation. One Sunday I got the hiccups - really really bad hiccups. I was doing my best to hold them in because I couldn't leave the pew. So when the minister says "Let's bow our heads for silent prayer". I thought good I can hold my breath and the hiccups will go away, however, I opened my mouth too soon. I let out the biggest hiccup the world has known. The entire congregation broke out laughing. My Mother told me she didn't even have to raise her head to see who did it because she knew it was me. Even now when I go back to that church for a visit there is always a member of the congregation who reminds me of it. Embarassed

What an embarassment!

So do you have any you want to share?

When I got married, I was so nervous about standing in front of 50 some odd strangers (my wife has a huge family), many of whom came from out of state, that I blurted out, "Hot Dog!" when my wife's minister pronounced us man and wife. Laughing

I'll tell this one again. On the followup visit to the doc after my vasectomy, the nurse handed me a cup and asked for a "SAMPLE". Figuring they needed to check my sperm count, I went into the bathroom and spanked the monkey. I returned with the sample, at which point she specified she wanted a URINE sample.

I know this girl that is and always has been very heavy. When she was pregnant, you could not tell. I ran upon her during her last pregnancy and said, "You haven't had that baby yet?" Shocked

She said, "Two months ago!" Surprised

Oh, it's always funny when the FNG pukes in his helmet. Especially when his facemask is down. And it's not the first time he's done it too.

Does being passed out on the kitchen floor with my pants down around my ankles when the wife and kids come home count?

This actually happened many, many years ago, and I ain't proud of it........well, maybe a little.........

A long time ago, I went to a party at a skating rink, and I went to the bathroom, came back out, and made my way out to the rink and started skating. For some reason, all of my friends were sitting down, and I could not figure out why. Then the DJ guy said, "This concludes the all-male skate!" I (a girl) missed the announcement when I went to the bathroom, and none of my friends bothered to tell me. Mad

In the 80's I worked in a nursing home in California. In places like that, there has to be some fun or it really gets to you. My best friend at the time (Sue) worked at the same place, and we were assigned the same hallway.

One day we decided to pull a trick on a co-worker (Sheri), kind of a get-even for a prank that she had pulled on us. I came up with the idea of me hiding in an empty (and sanitized) linen barrel, and Sue would push it down the hall. The agreement was that when she reached Sheri, she would tap lightly on the top of the barrel and I would pop out of the barrel and yell "boo!" at her.

Well, things don't always go as planned. I got into the barrel, and Sue wheeled it down the hallway as if she had just dumped the dirty linen and was bringing the barrel back. Expecting Sheri to be walking down the hallway on her way back from her break as she usually did, we were ready to let her have it. Instead of Sheri, it was someone else that walked down the hallway at that moment. Sue didn't think as she stopped to talk to this person, and in doing so, she drummed her fingers on the top of the linen barrel. I popped up from the barrel at lightening speed and yelled "boo!" right into our boss's face. She freaked, I freaked, and that caused a chain reaction of screaming. Everyone else was running over to see what was going on, and then the laughter started. Everyone laughed hysterically except our boss.

Ohhhhh we had a lot of explaining to do! Embarassed
