Did I really just say that?

[Aeneas]

Just thought I would post something that I did/thought recently that was incredibly stupid. Maybe other people could share thier stories of intellectual slippages. Thought the timing was right in the midst of threads about assault, possible racism, blowing up Bonavista, etc.

Anyways in my initial defense I will try to say that I am usually considered of sound mind...it went like this:

My daughter recieved a gift (she is 3 1/2) of the movie, "The Little Mermaid II" I didn't know there was a sequel. She has seen the original and I saw it with her once. So she wanted to watch this second one which from the cover seemed to star Ariel's daughter. As I put it in the player, I flipped it over to read the back like I would with any normal (not cartoon) movie I was to watch. In my head I was thinking the usual, that I do not like sequels. Then I saw a picture on the back of Ariel, and said,

"That's nice, at least they got the original mermaid for this one too."

[DementedReality]

thats the sound of something going over my head.

I think Aeneas was overlooking that is not difficult to get an animated character back for the sequel.

One time I put my foot in my mouth in court. I was cross-examining doctors about a medical condition called osteogenesis imperfecta. I was listing all the symptoms to see if the doctors detected them in the subject. So I asked, "were there discolored teeth". The doctor said, "no, babies don't have teeth". Oops. I did it again with the second doctor - I must be a slow learner.

I once asked how many trimesters there were.

Sometimes I say "you too" when the person at boarding says "Have a nice flight."

I pronounce cache as caysh.

And bas-relief as bass-relief.

Aeneas laughs at me.

When I was in school in Dallas, I was in the common room playing a game of Double Dragon with a friend. During a key fight one of those gigantic black thugs came out and started destroying my character, of course my friend was busy dealing with the easy characters.

So I swore at him and said "How come I always have to fight the black guys!!"

It was a stupid thing to say in the deep south.

While standing outside one night I said, "nice full moon tonight" to a blind guy walking by, he laughed.

another time, I was short 45 cents for a pack of smokes, I said, "oh, that's alright" picked my deck of smokes and walked out of the store, the clerk was stunned, my girlfriend explained to me what had happeded outside the store. I thought the girl at the store was telling me how much change I had coming back to me and that I was giving her a tip, I kept walking and think I gave her the money owing the following day.

A story...

My cousin and I were on our way to watch one of our other cousins high school basketball game with that cousins' parents. We stopped at the Denny's in Whitefish for a little dinner on the way up to Eureka. We all ordered and my cousin Tony was last. He had been having a difficult time deciding between breakfast food or dinner food...I mean, it's Denny's!

He finally settled on the French Slam or whatever the french toast thing is called. Without pause he asks for a side of ranch. The waitress gets a pukey look on her face and my uncle and I are absolutely crying from trying not to laugh. It took Tony about 3 minutes to realize what the hell we were laughing about. My stomach hurt so much. Then the waitress brought his order with the side of ranch and hilarity ensued again!

Sounds a bit like what you did Aeneas.

First day of school in England, an uppity Grammar School no less.
First class: Latin. The teacher starts off with basic history of the Romans.
Asks the class what they know about the Romans.
Now I was 9 or 10, and had just recieved a book for my birthday,
"Soldiers of the World" It covered soldiers from Ancient Mesopotamia through to WW II. I was quite impressed that each army or soldier recieved one page, but the Romans had 4 pages. They must be something.
Sadly the teacher calls on me to answer.
I say, to my year long regret,
"I have a book with 4 pages on the Romans."

I once called a shotgun a 12 gauge (pronounced like gouging on a price) shotgun. Said it to two guys who were into the military. (trout: RW and RM)

In my absent minded way, I've asked for my eggs medium-rare and my steak over easy a couple of times.

I was having lunch with a couple friends and their spouses and the conversation turned to discuss what you did when your angry with your spouse. My friends wife was saying how she never gave her husband the silent treatment when she was angry. I turned to her husband and asked him: "What do you do then to make her be quite?". It was meant to be funny as well as follow the vein of the conversation but, I never intended to imply that she was talking too much. Fortunately she knew me well enough to know I wasn't intending to insult her. After a moment of silence and her treating me with bodily violence we all had quite a laugh.

One day I was doing some concrete work with my bro-in-law at a timeshare in Canmore. The place was half inhabited and half under construction.
It was a hot, sunny day and we were sitting in the truck having a "glass of water" when I felt the need to complain about the lack of women.
I'm sitting in shotgun (not a 12 gouge, the front seat), slumped on the window but facing my bro, when I exclaimed that "THERE'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH CAMEL TOE AROUND HERE".
Coincidentally, the first female we'd seen in days was walking right by me when I said that.

That was a running joke all summer. I inadvertently did stuff like that a few times. A few jobs were head scratchers or ill-conceived. Seemed like every time I said something critical, the person responsible for it was standing behind me.
I remember dissing a really bad retaining wall. I said something along the lines of "this f'n wall. What a stupid idea". The wife of the guy we were building it for was standing behind us with beer for us.

I used to think revolutionary soldiers were gorillas.

I'm brutal with the "you too"'s as well. Most recent memory of it was walking out of a video store "

Enjoy your movie sir!
"Thanks, you too"

Doh.

The person I just had dinner with contributes the following:

A girl was complaining to him about an upcoming blind date. She was nervous and having second thoughts about following through with it. She was sure she would hate the guy and have trouble getting out of the date.

My friend: "Just be yourself, maybe he won't like you"

You're a disgrace to the force Lt. Harris.
