Thread Name: Life's embarrassing moments
Subject: Life's embarrassing moments
An entry in another thread gave me this idea. I'm sure you've had embarrassing moments while performing, or just in everyday life. I'll start if you guys promise to follow so I don't sit here alone red faced. Oh, thank you Katlaf, I knew you'd agree!

I used to do portrait photography for a living. I had my studio set up in a church one day, and was posing two brothers. These guys were young handsome youths and it was easy to engage them in conversation. I posed them chatting all the while.

In response to one fellow commenting that something or other was a pain, I wanted to agree. I was going to say, "Yeah, it's a pain in the butt". But my mind racing forward thought, I'm in a church, I should say neck, not butt. Much to my dismay, what came out of my mouth was a hybrid of the two words: "Yeah, it's a pain in the nut".

What's a girl to say after that? I got some wonderfully happy expressions from the fellows, but I wished for the rest of their sitting that the earth would open up and swallow me.

OK, I'm sitting here red faced and all alone. It's your turn!
