slip of the tongue


I was at a relatives house the other day. The adults were sitting around a table playing a game. I said something. I paused and realized what I had said. Wow that was really vulgar but kinda funny so I laughed. While laughing I apologized and told everyone I did not mean to say that in that way. I noticed no one else was laughing. I also noticed the chick across the table giving me a very nasty look. I was kind of impressed with the fact that I never thought of saying that before and it just ended up being that what I said was taken wrong. What is the really sad part is that these people actually thought I meant it the way it came out. Am I that pathetic that people think of me like that? Later I told the story to someone and I could just tell they thought "sure you really didn't mean to say it that way. Right!! Whatever!"
This really sucks
what do you think?

I think it is funny. Too bad for you but a great story! I personally think you should let people have slip of the tongue moments and give them the benefit of the doubt because I have had my fair share.

I think EVERYONE has slip of the tongue moments. A story my dad loves to tell: One day while a woman was driving she went right through a red light. She was immediately pulled over. She knew how upset her husband would be if she got a ticket since this was her third one of the year. So she thought to herself what she could say to the police officer to get out of the ticket. She didn't have a lot of time so when the cop approached her window she just said. "hello officer did you pull me over to give me two tickets to the murray police ball?" very sternly he began writing the ticket and replied, "mama the murray police don't have balls". She began to laugh. The policeman's pen stopped moving and he walked back to his cruzer and left.

If I had a dollar for every time I said something I didn't mean...or say it out of context, I would be able to buy you a house, and everyone else in the country for that matter.
