Recounting those innocent and humorous faux pas of our yesterdays.


These days I actually chuckle at my upchucking all over my date’s prom dress. I should never have imbibed that case of beer prior to pick her up. I still think her mom overreacted! I offered to pay for cleaning the carpet.

How about you, any funny happening to your social graces?

2. There was a time before the seminary
Edited on Wed Jul-30-03 09:45 PM by The Lone Liberal
when I was rather a wild and unruly young man. :evilgrin:

I am sure that in the future I shall need a candle lit for me.

Oh yes, one thing reminds you of another, like dominoes or sand through an hourglass so go the days of our lives. hmmmmm, must remember that line, might come in handy someday.

3. And I am certain that before the seminary that you sought absolution
and have lived a good, clean life ever since.

:evilgrin:

4. I have a theory about dominoes.
Different from the one prevalent in the 1960s.

5. I've got one for you
I was thumbing a ride home and a guy pulls over on the other side of the street just past the light.
I sprinted across the street jumped in the passenger seat and asked him; "How far are you going"

He said: "I'm parking here"


One of life's embarrassing moments (but I'm still young)

6. I had just transferred to the marketing dept... [WARNING: NO SEX]
and my boss wanted me to meet all the regional sales VPs so he sent me to the semi-annual sales conference. The first night, everyone was pretty loaded and the sales guys were teasing me because I was just a kid and desperate to make a good impression and drunk on my ass.
So we were standing around drinking and I was trying to get everyone's name right. On salesman corrected me when I addressed him and said that he was really so-and-so. The guy who was "so-and-so" played along. I knew they were kidding me but I was drunk and had my doubts. So they had their fun.
A guy I hadn't met yet joined us and introduced himself as "Mr. Farquahar".
"No you're not!" I said, That's a made-up name. Farquahar. Farquahar. Nobody has a name like 'Farquahar'."
I went on, insisting the guy tell me his real name.
He started looking really pissed and the other guys were turning away and silently laughing their asses off.
Not only was he not kidding, he was kind of a no-nonsense, so sense-of-humor conservative type. I apologized but we just never got along well after that.

10. I just remembered another one
But it was just about three months ago. I was driving my car and I saw my friend at the corner, I had to park anyway, so I got out of the car and slowly snuck up behind him, then I decided to run, grab his bag and take off knowing he'd see it was me. So, the plan goes into action, I run and grab the bag, just as I am about two feet in the other direction, I realize......it's not my friend.

Lucky for me the guy had a sense of humour

12. Too many........
I once walked out to introduce a visiting guest lecturer's speech, only to have someone in the front row point out that my boxers were sticking out of the zip of my trousers......

D'oh!

Oh, and I threw wine all over the Finance Director's best friend (and the restaurant wall) during my first ever meeting with my new department......

Oh......and we'd taken a few company reps out for a big meal to thank them for their hard work, and when I went to pay the bill I discovered that my credit cards had all expired the previous week and I hadn't brought the new ones with me....

Ho hum...what a twat.

:-)

P.

I have been there and done most everything, at least similar, once or more times. LOL Great stories.
