    I once witnessed a chap excitedly ask a women when her baby was due. <Awkward, silence> <face drops as it dawns on him she isn't pregnant>. <Commences arse covering blubbering, which didn't help><awkward silence> <pretends to do some work>.

    Hate it when I do that.
    Some years ago, a friend of my sisters had an accident at work and cut off 2 1/2 toes. He was on crutches when he first met my parents, who had been warned.

    My dad greeted him with the line "what have you been doing? Lost a foot?"



    "Um, no actually - just 2 1/2 toes".



    Thinking about it, my dad has form for that - he once saw someone skiing with only one pole and, assuming she had dropped it, said "Have you lost a pole?" to which she replied "No, just an arm" before skiing off.

    Hmm!

    Curry night tomorrow, Thai or Indian?

    Either way I still have to make them.

    Kicked the phone with my socks on. It hurt a bit. Went for the catch, but it was a woefully poor kick and impossible to catch, so the handset just hit the deck.



    Even my dog looked like he was embarrassed for me...
