what is the stupidest thing you have ever said

[twirl]

   on this one, but I did it
I wanted my neph doc to know that the diarrhea was really bad
he just kept assuming it would stop
I told him that it was so bad I had to wear a tampon on days I left home
his face turned red
and then I told him I mean a kotex

  Hilarious Twirl.

One of mine (and there are many) happened in France at a student cafeteria that was unique in that we sat at tables of 8 or so and each table was served a meal family-style, all laid out on the table for us to help ourselves.  My french was still quite shaky and at the end of the meal I was stuffed so I wanted to say something to that effect.  I just guessed at it and translated straight from english and said "Oh la la, que je suis pleine" (literally, Wow, how full I am).  My entire table and any others within earshot promptly burst out into gales (no pun intended on my name) of laughter.  All innocent, I asked what the joke was, only to be told that what I'd said was "Wow, how pregnant I am" but not pregnant in the human sense because in french only pregnant animals are "pleine"  so I was "with calf" or lamb or dog or whatever.
After that I was often asked how my pups were coming along.
The upside was that people who would likely never have talked to me now did, even though we all know they were thinking I was some dumb North American chickadee.  The blondeness didn't help either.

Ok, it's not me, but it's so funny I have to share.

I'm sure many (if not all) of you heard a few weeks ago that Big Foot was found right here in north Georgia. So the receptionist at work answered a phone call the day the story came out, and the caller (a very smart a** client) asks if Steve - the president - is there. No, he's out. Ok, is John there? No, he's out too. Fine, is Big Foot there? Tonya asked, "Do you mean Nick or Shawn?". Only after hanging up the phone did she realize what the caller meant.

[twirl]

they found Big Foot
reallly
I always wanted to know what you call more than one Big Foot
Big Foots or Big Feets

I have managed to tell a French bass player that I loved his playing in a way that turned out to translate to something closer to "I lust after you..."

And one of my family's favorite stories about me trying to speak French recounts the time I walked up to a police officer outside the Louvre museum and asked him very politely, in my very best French, "Do you speak French?"    That created a scene because he had to call over every police officer in sight to tell them what I had said.  My son, who was 12 at the time, was mortified.

Just doing my part for Franco-American relationships!

this is not saying stupid just being stupid
someone wrote that she had a friend tell her that her water at work made her pee
I wrote I wanted that water
and thought it must be a special kind
then I realized any water would make you pee if you could pee

I said to a woman at the country club "I used to have that same maternity dress" and she said "I'm not pregnant."

Background:  For my own idiosyncratic reasons, I watched virtually NO television for over 20 years -- from my early 20s to a few years ago.  At that time, I started watching some TV again, but I very rarely watch the news on TV. 

So, when I went to the fundraising benefit and donor-recipient reunion put on by the Alliance for Paired Donation last weekend, the name "Barbara Pinto" meant nothing to me.  The first event was a lunch on Saturday for recipients and donors.  I knew that ABC World News Tonight was supposed to be covering the festivities, but did not see any cameras or anything like that in the vicinity at that moment.  There were a whole bunch of people milling around -- donors, recipients, coordinator-type people, etc.  I didn't know any of them, and the introductions went by in a blur.  I was introduced to Barbara Pinto of ABC, but neither her name nor her face rang any bells. 

A little while later, when we were about to sit down for lunch, I found myself standing next to this lady, so I said, "I'm sorry, what was your name again?"  She said "Barbara Pinto with ABC."  Then -- OMG -- I said, "Now, what is ABC?"  (I was thinking she must be the coordinator for some agency, but what could it be? -- the American Blood Coalition or something?)  She smiled and very politely said, "ABC News."  OMG, what must she have been thinking, that they removed my brain along with my kidney?  As I said, she was very polite and did NOT ask what planet I was from, but I should also note that she came nowhere near me for the rest of the weekend.
