Problem is - I have learned to talk around said inserted foot and keep digging it deeper and deep er. I have had this affliction since the moment I learned to talk - so yet again - I can blame dear ol' mom for not breaking me of this from wee childhood.

Do you do that, too - do you say things that in hind sight you know you shouldn't have?

"Well yeah your butt is big, it's called a bubble butt." - didn't go over so well - can't imagine why...

"Sure, I'll do the pubbed authors contest." - 180 books, two crossed eyes and a tic later...

"Hey, let's follow the bus." - seemed like a good idea at the time. Restraining order is due up any minute - hehehe

Oh, and there are so many more. I could bore you all night with them, but I won't. (American Idol comes on in a couple of hours - priorities!)

And now there are so many forms in which to embarass yourself - that'd be me ...

In person ~ always the best becasue you can see that moment the insult takes hold in the brain of the hearer. E-mail ~ you don't realize that you've done it 'til they don't respond for weeks - yeah okay I am slow - I tell you your butts big and you seem to have forgotten my e-mail addy. Phone ~ they never call back. Then the number is blocked - a good clue that comment about how friggin' ugly their baby is didn't go over well - just kidding guys! So many way to make yourself suck sole!

It embarrasses the hell out of me when I say too much, but I cannot make myself stop. A guy I know once said he wanted to get me drunk just to see if I shut up - besides being suuuuuch a nice guy - I don't think it would have worked, I don't drink (over much).

One of these days, maybe I will learn, but for some odd reason I cannot see myself without the taste of shoe leather in my mouth.
