Hi John - do it a lot

I once plucked up the courage to walk up to the enquiries desk in a train station in Paris to ask about train times and I blurted out to the very fine looking French Lady ...
"parlez vous francais? and she looked at me with a smug smile and said "oui" - I legged it !

In the winter the local cricket team use the sports hall for practise, leaving school late one night, I was approach by a very distinguished elderly gentleman in full cricket kit. He asked me if I knew how to put the lights on in the hall, my reply was, it must be hard to see your balls in the dark, both of us going redder and redder me with embarrassment and him trying not to laugh. I put the lights on, and quickly made a retreat; echoes of laughter followed me as the poor chap exploded.

it's my mother who comes out with unfortunate things for e.g.

my sister had bought a new portable telly and my mother asked me
"have you seen Linda's 17inch bush?"
referring, obviously, to the make of the telly, I couldn't speak for laughing for at least half an hour!

I'm sure I do it all the time, but one that sticks in my mind was said to me.

Most of my friends address me by an abbreviated form of my first name. One of them was having a general rant about the unfairness of life, ending it with the immortal phrase:

"It's all a con, Dom."

Everytime I open my mouth.....

I'm glad I'm not the only one Sally. The little old lady probably dashed home, took out her little morse code book to see what dash dot was. lol john

Talking to a council official about the crossroads in the village, the area is known as Kennett End and the pub called The Bell is on the corner.......... I referred to it as The Bell End!

Im a Dot! lol a young one though..at school I always got teased with the morse code..
Its funnier when people "put their foot in it"..A little while ago I was at work(nurse in a.e)..there was a little lady whom must of been 70ish..broken arm..I was attempting to remove her wedding ring with soap(as I didnt want to cut it off)..Voila!..managed to remove it..then her relative piped up.." Oh! thats great She hasnt had it off for 40 years! "..

i went to see my sisters new baby, my younger sister aged 12 said before i went in he looks like ET,i sat down looking in to his face and kindly told my sister that her baby didn't look like et, i coloured deeply

At least once a day:)

lol John - that is funny

lolololololol......John......that was so funny......I wonder if she realised ??

......and to answer your question, yes......I do sometimes put my mouth into operation without thinking it through first......but its usually in response to something that has upset me....

.....still laughing.....x sally

And then said to yourself 'I can't believe I've just said that'....
For example - bumped into a little old lady a couple of days ago, I was in a bit of a hurry, and the little old lady wanted to talk (and talk, and talk). Her being called Dot. After a few minutes, I interupted her and said - "I Must DASH DOT"....
