Floor to open up! Yes,we all have had them moments. One i can recall now is when i was in a supermarket recently,buying some apples. I said to the lady assistant "I like Cox!".
For the record,that is a brand of apple!:D Women will do nicely(heh).
She laughed and i cringed! But it was funny.
Anyone else wanted the ground to open up?;)

Hmm well first comes to mind what my Aunt told me about when she was little & her mother had always told her that when she needed something to spell it-so once they're in this grocery filled with soldiers & as they're checking out my Aunt very loudly "mom you forgot the K O T E X" her mother ran out of the store never going back.

Then there was the first time I marched in the school band & someone whispered to me "what about the sheet music" so when I in turn asked out loud where it was-everyone laughed..duh!

Are these your most embarrassing? :rolleyes:
Craig doesn't have enough bandwith to list all of mine! :D
But I'll start with this one. :)

I was in the hallway at the hospital, taking a walk with one of my patients--a 3-y/o boy who was always a bit "rambunctious", even while hooked up to the IV as we were walking.

I stopped to talk to one of the residents and this child kept wanting to leave, to keep walking. Finally, he tugged his hand away from mine, lifted up the dress of my uniform as high as he could, and put his head underneath it! :eek: Of course, the resident started laughing immediately. I did too, for a second, as I was trying to fish him out from under there. Then he put his hand behind me and lifted up my dress from back there. The resident, trying to be mindful of the IV lines, was trying to get him out, with me holding up the hem of my dress. Well, obviously, he finally did get him out from under there. :eek:

Though I think he took a little longer than he needed to! :D

I was a senior in Nursing School

On call for surgery. Our director had a rule you didn't go feom the nurse's residence to the hospital out of uniform and the uniform in those days had 4 parts all pinned together plus a cap. I carried the scrub dress and was supposed to change in surgery's operating room. To save time I began changing in the elevator. In the middle of changing the door opened and there stood the director and night supervisor. Well there went three months privileges.

I've never heard of those apples, Storm. I don't even know if we have them here. Good thing you didn't ask for those here in the States. :D Instead of a laugh, you may have gotten a "bop". ;) :D

But now I think they let you sleep in your scubs but I think you have to change again in OR. My director was always catching me at the wrong place at the wrong time.

When my son was learning to talk he also had a slight speech problem - couldn't pronounce "TR" or "R" too well, so he substituted what sounded more like an "F" sound. We were in heavy traffic, in the summer with the car windows down, and he saw a big semi truck. He leaned out the window and pointed at the truck, and kept saying "truck" in his own way when a car of stuffy snots pulled up beside us. You can imagine what they heard him saying, not knowing of his speech problem (well, it WAS a problem at that particular time) ... I just smiled and rolled the windows up ...

Gheez, guys/gals - we don't have to go through life "feeling like a crap magnet" ... it's all in the perspective: our minds dwell on what it finds attractive - the Power of the Soul is much more powerful than the mind.
Ride the horse - don't let it ride you :)

You make your own luck,including how much of the brown stuff hits you.
That's unless you really are unlucky,then you better dye your hair brunette!:D

Cox's Orange Pippins. I've never had them to eat, but Loblaws President's Choice brand makes apple juice from them and it is the best apple juice I have ever tasted.
