Subject: RE: BS: So Embarrassed...............!
I have another embarassing moment story, if I'm allowed two.

I worked for an English company for several years, and developed quite a liking for the English ales. One night, on a 'pub crawl' through Henley with a friend, we finished the evening at the Queens Head Pub; a lovely little low ceilinged place, with door jams just at my forehead height. I had reached the 'drinking bout' point of one pint/one pee ... and found that when I left for the loo the first time, I forgot to duck through the door and slammed my head against the door jam unceremoniously. I was the only American in the place, and the locals, all noticing my accident were kind enough to 'not notice' - but I must say, that I forgot on pee number two, and even on pee number three. By the third time I slammed my head on the door jam, the whole pub was in hysterics ... so I turned abruptly to the room, and said emphatically, "and that's the way we do it in America!"
