Mmff ooght sss caalt
There are days when verbal jewels spring forth from my lips and then there's yesterday.
Example One: (Tish during tee-ball game) "You see that umpire in the outfield?"
(Head Umpire for the entire League) "I sure do."
(Tish) "You need to fire him or have his eyes checked."
(Head Umpire) "I'll tell him that on the drive home."
Example Two: (Friend of Tish) "I know I've been sort of a bitch to you lately but - "
(Tish) "Yes you have."
Example Three: (Tish) "Who is their right mind would think anyone would buy this piece of crap for 5 bucks?"
(Flea Market Owner behind Tish) "That would be me."
Blurted from Tish's mouth after son hits SECOND grand slam:
"I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL OF YOU WHOSE CHILD DOESN'T ROCK LIKE MINE!"
Of course, they know I am kidding, I know I am kidding, but the opposing team? Death glares and whispers. That's fine, I was busy chewing on my K-Swiss flip flops.

Not to worry. That condition improves and in time passes. It leaves about the same time as the transition from conscript to philosopher. And you begin to smile silently and inwardly as you watch the circle renew. ;~)

Oh, I think I can go better.
As a young apprentice I having trouble getting hold of "company X".
All morning I'm ringing them to get the infomation I want.
The phone never gets answered.
Getting impatient, I scrawl in large, black marker pen across a fax sheet "Is there any life at Company X ?" & send it to them.
The reply I recieved the next day read like this.
"We regret we could not return your calls yesterday, the office was closed as we were attending the funeral of Mr Company X."

I can't tell you how often I've uttered something at the wrong place or the wrong time or to the wrong person. I'm an expert!!
Hey...I've got a favor to ask. I'm writing an article for a magazine about decorating kids' rooms. I remember you were doing some neat things in your kids' room about a year ago. Got any photos you could share with me? Drop me an email. Thanks!!

I've done that more times than I can count. Most of the time, it was when I was trying to give a compliment!

Example # 3 counter response: "My my, you sell an interesting brand of crap. Overpriced, but interesting".
I step in it all the time, so why not extend the step?
;)

Personally I think example two is quite valid. But then I usually have a mouth full.

LOL! I do it nearly on a daily basis. Go easy on yourself, Tish! WE ALL tend to get footinmouth disease from time to time. :-)
Congrats on The Perfect Post!!

Vicki sent me. She's big-hearted that way. I guess you are about to meet Gene and Vicki in the flesh - what fun!

Lucky you!!!!!! Details. I want details.
