There are a million different versions of stories that involve someone doing something incredibly stupid. One of my favorites from way, way back involves an employee chatting with his boss and the boss says something negative about Green Bay. So, to score a few points with the boss the guy says, "Ain't nothin' in Green Bay but football players and whores." The boss promptly announces, "I'll have you know I met my wife in Green Bay." Without missing a beat, the employee asks, "What position did she play?"
Another classic involves a fellow running late for court who gets into a minor altercation with a fellow driver and shows him his middle finger. Upon arriving at court, he recognizes the judge as being the other driver.
Recently, I mentioned to a fellow that a certain political figure was completely untrustworthy because he had graduated from both KSU and KU. He then pointed out that he had done the same thing. Oops! But, being the kind of person I am I honestly replied, "So THAT explains it." Heck, I wasn't on his list of top 1000 people he liked before and definitely not after. That's called straight shootin'.
If I had a dollar for every sentence I shouldn't have said, I wouldn't have to wade in swamps and briers for a pay check. 😉
Reminds me of the time not too long ago on a Sunday where I met a gentleman who had recently been discharged from the hospital. He explained that he actually had a heart attack while in there to which I replied, "BEFORE they gave you the bill?" The word "tact" is definitely not in my vocabulary...
Back in thee early 1970's, while I was in school, I worked for a small City outside Atlanta. At the time there was federal money available to Cities to put young unemployed people to work. I was heading up a crew tasked with clearing sewer easements. As I was driving back to the warehouse one day we passed the high school and a LARGE young girl was walking down the street. I said "Well there goes the left side of the offensive line". Of course the fellow sitting next to me said "That's my sister". DOH!!!!

One afternoon I was working through a data transformation with an attractive Engineer lady. She was concerned with elevations and asked the we resolve the vertical quickly. I told her we should 'get horizontal first'. I'm not sure who turned more red in the face...

One of our posters told a pretty funny story similar about being anxious to start the first day of his new job, and roared past an old guy driving real slow and flipping him off only to find out he was the owner of the company he was starting with.
Who told that one? He was one of the regular posters.
