some may get a kick and a laugh out of these stories but some of you may not so here it goes:
do you ever say something out loud or tell a story and somehow you insert your foot in your mouth as the saying goes?
my 2 latest ones are as follows:
1) i was at this convenient store buying an ice tea and talking to the cashier when this woman comes up to us and carrying this big huge bag of documents and papers and such and she asked us both where a payphone was at? we both said that we had no idea where a pay phone would be in this area of the city and don't know even if there was one? then i trying to be funny said "well you could try across the street (which by the way is a jail!) and she said "where at?" and i said "you know the hotel!" and she replied in a quizzical way " the hotel what do you mean? where? and i said " you know the hotel for bad people!" and she replied "uh, yeah that's where i just got out of!" and pointed to her bag of papers! (i guess all her paperwork they gave her when she got out!) ooops! so i just said "uh, sorry!"
2)at the theatre where i always see movies i would always see this older man around 60 or so behind the glass window where you buy tickets, unusual to see this old of a man selling tickets at a theatre usually it's teenagers or young twentysomethings. anyway, so i always only saw him from waist up behind the glass window when i went to buy my movie tickets, so anyway....
finally after the longest time, i finally saw him in the lobby fullbody so to speak and he was on crutches. i didn't know his name, now did he know mine, but you know we recognized each other's faces, so i went up to him and said "hey, man, how is it going? and then i said seeing him on crutches, "so did you get into a bit of an accident?" and then he replied "uh, yeah polio 50 years ago!" OH MY GOD! i felt so stupid and small but he was cool and laughed it off and said " dont' worry about it man! it's no big deal, you didn't know!" but still i felt so stupid!
