ok gotta share this foot in mouth story.
i work with a guy who is terminally christian. he's a former minister, and goes so far as to openly show distain for halloween. (as though we don't take enough crap for christian holidays, but that's another thread, and this is just an example)
i met this guy on a thursday. i'm sure it was a thursday, because he doesn't work fridays. "have a nice weekend" he said, i replied "you don't come in friday?" (gentle reminder that it was thursday).
i'm somewhat "glib" so when he said "nope, i don't ever work fridays", i replied "who did you sell your soul to to get that deal?"
he didn't speak to me again for six months.
I don't care who ya are; that's funny.
:biggrin:
anyone else got a "foot in mouth" moment to share? i think the drool bucket would be a good place to collect them.
That is classic! I love it!
:biggrin: That's hilarious. I'm the queen of foot-in-mouth, but I have to think about it. I'm sure I have some stories. LOL
How about asking a lady when the baby is due and she announces she had it 6 months ago :eek:

Does posting something in the wrong yahoo chat window count as foot in mouth? Especially when the person receiving the messages looks at it and says "huh?" and you want to crawl under the desk because .... well you feel stoooooopid?
Daisy, quit laughing at me, it was an honest mistake!!!

Ummmm.....where exactly is someone's "crawl"? :confused:
Yeah. I wanted to ask that, but I was afraid that I would reveal such a depth of ignorance that I would be laughed off the thread.
I thought I was fairly familiar with the anatomy of the female human being, but I must confess that I have never heard of a "crawl." :biggrin: :biggrin:

Giggle--I think the term is "craw"--and don't axe me where that comes from!! :D
Chickens. A chicken has a craw, believe that stones end up there when they are pecking at the ground for their feed, and they get a small stone or pebble instead. But don't quote me, I was only raised up around the chickens, I didn't study them. ;)
Yep, Pariann--a "craw" is the same thing as a crop or gizzard.
Birds don't pick up gravel by accident, though---it's purposefull because they need them to grind up the seeds etc. that they feed on.
They don't have gastric juices like we do, so the gizzard repeatedly clenches the gravel and grain together to aid in digestion.
That's one of the reasons why ice storms that leave a thick and long-lasting covering on the ground are so devastating to bird populations. Even if they can get to a food source, they can literally starve with a full belly, as it were.
There ya go--that info and .89 and you're in the coffee business.

I think I've shared this before but I'll do it again. . . When I was still married to my husband, being an officer's wife I attended a lot of functions where a covered dish was necessary. So I had purchased some 'high speed' pyrex dishes with handy blue covers. After on holiday gathering, I realized after I was in my car and leaving the parking lot, that I had forgotten my empty dish. Then I spotted a group just leaving the building and thought I'd sucker on of them into running back in and getting it for me. So, I roll down my window and asked if someone wouldn't mind running back in and grabbing my playtex casserole. After an awkward silence, I realized what I had said.

Sorry. I'm overly tired but this No Doz crap is still not wearing off.
Saying "Excuse me miss" and when she turns around it's really a he. Guess the long blond hair threw me off. OOPS! :redface:
I have been known for opening mouth and inserting foot from time to time...Guilty! :yes:
I have one... it involves a man's ex-wife and his ex-best friend. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
On this topic....I freaking did it myself, today, and I'm guessing I may be short one friend. :rant:
