 Topic: The Dumbest Thing You've Ever Said
Posted: July 05 2007 at 23:39 |
What's the dumbest thing you've ever said out loud? The kind of stuff you'll never live down and haunts you forever. For me, it was:
"Jimi Hendrix was only famous because of him doing the windmill." 
Nice job Einstein, way to simultaneously get the wrong guy and spit on Hendrix's grave.  While it was a couple years ago, I really should have been shot for saying that.
Luckily, it was quickly brushed aside by all who heard it, but it lives in my mind to this day. 
So, what conversation-killers have you guys come up with?

I am always saying things that have the beloved rolling around with laughter and astonishment at my stupidity.......  I seem to have quite a gift for it.
Just this week we had a guy here to measure and quote for a garden fence (the dry stone wall is great, but we keep getting robbed.....AND watched  ) So we were looking at samples, and talking over the options, the beloved was trying to visualise the height of the fence, so we can block out the gawpers........
"how tall are you? I want to work out what the average person can see" he asked me
"Well. I am 5'11" but my eyes are about 4 inches down from the top of my head so they are only 5'7"........." came my reply 
both the beloved and the fence guy fell over laughing.......and I still don't get it.........

I've said loads of silly things like these. No particular one comes to mind right now, however. But they keep happening.

I told this relatively well-known French singer that some things were worth waiting for !!(we were both a little too tipsy for shagging)
We never met again

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I have a story about someone else's slip up. My physics teacher told our class how he visited Helen Keller's house and went on a guided tour. The guide explained how, when Ann Sullivan taught Helen, she would put the girl in a carriage and drivea round for hours only to go to a cottage on the family's land in order to make Helen think she was isolated.
My teacher then asked "Did her family have to keep quiet so she wouldn't know?"
Then the guide explained how Helen was deaf also.

To girlfriend, on birthday call when we were still in the just friends phase:
- Girlfriend: "... and wait until I see you; I have a really beautiful present for you..."
- Me: "[I need to say something romantic now]... uhm... ah, but you don't need to give anything; you are a present already. I can't wait to meet you tomorow to OPEN YOU ...

So many things.
I try to be funny, and most of the time it works....but sometimes I just kill the convo.
