Sure it has happened to us all and to avoid further embarrassment won't go into detail.....but you are small talking with someone of the opposite sex and you say something that comes out completely wrong to how you intended

I'm a communications major, and this was one of the discussions we had in our first class.

We learned how even body language can send the wrong signals, and add people from different cultures to the mix, you may be offending people and never know it!


Crazy world!

Default My Wife

One time we were walking into our local mall...Took the short cut through the Chain Sporting Goods store...

As we are walking in she says...

"You know I HATE (Shortened form of Richard)'s. And I hate BIG (Shortented form of Richard)'s most of all..."

Took her ten minutes to figure out why I was laughing...

My favorite is when I said to a friend that just had a baby and I was visiting her in the hospital. I said, "Now there's a face only a mother could love."

I thought I was being nice.

When I was young and at the bars it took every ounce of courage to ask this girl to dance. She eventually did dance with me and this is what I was thinking as we danced...

(I was so nervous I can't believe I am dancing with you)

What I actually said was...

"You should be thankful that I am dancing with you ca....HEY! Where you going?"
