Sticking Your Foot in Your Mouth

[Keesha]

I reply but my hands and feet are you know where

HAHAHAHA.
Thank you Gary.

That’s interesting. Either all of you are as crazier than I assumed OR I’m more normal than I thought

Believe it, you're more normal than you think.

Silence is my best friend and has kept me out of some real trouble.

I might as well drink because most of the time I sound like a drunk trying to talk. Complete blabbering idiot - my mouth can't keep up with my brain.

If there’s a way to say something the wrong way, I seem to find it.


Anyone else stumbling over their words while trying to communicate?

I do. When I'm not saying things that inadvertently offend someone.

 

[Lewkat]

I do and often am guilty of Spoonerisms. Especially if I am excited.

I know what not to say, usually right after I've said it.

yep. That sounds about right.

As in Arthur Spooner?

What’s that?

 

[StarSong]

What’s that?

An oft used example is saying "Let me sew you to your sheets" instead of "Let me show you to your seats."

I should never read one of these before my morning coffee. Graphics are more than a little off center.

Well that’s quite the spoonerism or plain $@%# up!

Nice to know that I'm not alone in the 'foot in mouth' club.

Its a wonder I haven't been knocked on my arse after I've said something.

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.....................
