A competition was recently held to find out the most embarrassing moments in peoples lives.
The following are the final four places.
Fourth Place.
While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to
release some pent-up energy and started to run amok. I was finally able to
grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other
patrons. I told her that if she didn't start behaving herself "right now",
she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said
in a voice just as threatening,
"If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma
that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!".
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers
stopped what they were doing ! I mustered the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
The last thing that I heard as the door closed behind me were the screams of
laughter.
Third Place.
It was the day before my eighteenth birthday. I was living at home,
but my parents had gone out for the evening, so I invited my girlfriend
over for a romantic night alone. As we lay in bed after making love, we
heard the telephone ringing downstairs. I suggested to my girlfriend
that I give her a piggy-back ride to the phone. Since we didn't want to miss
the call, we didn't have time to get dressed. When we got to the bottom of
the stairs, the lights suddenly came on and a whole crowd of people yelled
a "SURPRISE".
My entire family, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and all
of my friends were standing there! My girlfriend and I were frozen to the
spot in a state of shock and embarrassment for what seemed like an eternity.Since then, no-one in my family has planned a surprise party again.
Second Place.
A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally
got up to the checker, she learned that one of the items had no price
tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the public address system
and boomed out for all the store to hear: PRICE CHECK ON LANE
THIRTEEN. TAMPAX, SUPERSIZE.
That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store
apparently misunderstood the word "Tampax" for "Thumbtacks".
In a very business-like tone, a voice boomed back over the public
address system;
DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND THAT YOU BELT
IN WITH A HAMMER.
the Winner Is.....
This one actually happened at Harvard University in October last year.
In a biology class, the professor was discussing the high glucose
levels found in semen. A young female (freshman), raised her hand and asked, "If I understand what you are saying, there is a lot of glucose in
male semen, as in sugar?".
"That's correct" responded the professor, going on to add much statistical
data. Raising her hand again, the sweet young thing asked, "
then why doesn't it taste sweet ?".
After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing,
the poor girl turned bright red and as she realised exactly what she had
inadvertently said (or rather implied), she picked up her books without a
word and walked out of the class .and never returned. However, as she was
going out of the door, the professor's reply was a classic.
Totally straight-faced, he answered her question, " It doesn't taste sweet
because the taste-buds for sweetness are on the tip of your tongue and not in the back of your throat!"
