He stopped the stance immediately and I knew it had come out wrong. I knew what I was talking about, but "HEISMAN" just wouldn't come out..I still haven't lived that one down at work.Wicked Lemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740758750886411561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-80921746993192283992009-03-15T10:20:00.000-05:002009-03-15T10:20:00.000-05:00I am tempted to send you a "Where's the Panda's" e...I am tempted to send you a "Where's the Panda's" email.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27639707.post-44581456668797052412009-03-15T09:06:00.000-05:002009-03-15T09:06:00.000-05:00Oh, dear.

I cringe when I think of the most embarrassing moment for me [sigh], but I guess confession is good for the soul:<BR/><BR/>When I was about 11, my favorite book was <I>A Little Princess</I>. They have some pretty old-timey language in this book, obviously. Well, I was at dinner at Perkins with my dad, and somehow as he was talking to the waitress, he was sort of quoting himself and said, "I exclaimed!" I wanted to join in, so I used a phrase I'd read in my book: "You ejaculated!" The waitress choked with laughter and quickly walked away. My dad asked me where I'd heard that word and I told him, and he very kindly told me that that word wasn't used any more in that way and that it had another meaning which wasn't as nice. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I didn't figure out until a few years later what I had done; I think I was mostly worried I'd said it wrong, but I knew I'd said something I shouldn't.<BR/><BR/>So there it is. S cannot call me chicken after admitting THAT.die Frauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269442912640747892noreply@blogger.com
