Sticking Your Foot in Your Mouth

Sticking Your Foot in Your Mouth - that's my favorite pastime.
As an example. In 1968, I was a newly minted US Navy Corpsman, at Bethesda Naval Hospital. That's the hospital, Presidents ,Senators, Congress, etc. go to. I worked in the Eye Clinic, and the doctor, a Naval Officer, asked me to call the lab , and get the results of the Admiral's wife's VDRL. I had no idea what a VDRL was. The lab guy told me. Just then the doc was on the other side of the waiting room, filled with about 40-50 people waiting to see the docs. I loudly said, "The Admiral's wife's VSRL was positive". For some strange reason the doctor froze in place. Then I was kindly asked to see him privately. Then he wasn't so kind. I had just told a room full of people the Admiral's wife had a venereal disease.
There are just so many, many stories.....................
