What's Your Most Embarassing Moment? (Jesus, hell)

[Lightkeeper]

What was your most embarrassing moment in life? Mine was when a well meaning highschool teacher, thought I would enhance my skills by making an announcement over the PA system. I was so nervous I didn't get one word out correctly. I had to go back to class and of course everyone was laughing.

I really screwed up at a horse show two years ago, and it sticks with me even now. It was my first time at this new higher level, and at one of the biggest shows of the year. I was seriously in over my head and the whole weekend I felt stressed out and nervous. Anyhow, in the show jumping phase, I totally messed up the distance to one of the fences and my horse refused. I had really buried him at the fence, so he kinda slid into it when he stopped...the top rail stayed in place but apparently he knocked over one of the flower box thingys underneath, although I didn't see it. The rules state that a jump has to be re-set if it's moved out of place...the judge is supposed to blow a whistle to signal me to stop. Well, they blew the whistle alright, but there was an arena going right next to mine at the same time and I thought it was coming from there...also, I didn't even think the whistle was for me because I didn't even realize I'd knocked over the box. Sooooo, I continued on without letting them re-set the jump (grounds for elimination). There were about 4 fences left, and as I jumped them I could hear someone saying "Umm, thank you...thank you" over the loudspeaker. Once I exited the arena my trainer told me what I'd done--those thank you's had been directed at me, as in "thank you, you may leave". To make matters worse, the Technical Delegate's assistant came over to talk to me and was a serious biznatch about the whole thing. At the time I didn't really care--I was just ****** and tired, but now it makes me cringe.....oy vey, I get stressed just thinking about it!

I was just about to start a thread with this title, and felt sure it had already been covered; so I resurected this one; I hope that's O.K?

Andy, my son was about four years old when I got a bad bout of gastro-enteritis. I had been in bed a couple of days, feeling really rough and weak.

My wife called out the doctor to make sure it wasn't anything worse, cos I was so bad. He came, examined me as I lay in bed, proded my stomach and threabouts to see if anything felt wrong. Meanwhile, little Andy, who was worried about daddy, was standing at the door of the room, carefully taking all this in.

When the doctor had finished, my wife showed him downstairs, and little andy came into our room, and with obvious pity for Daddy on his face said "Have you got a poorly willy Daddy?"

Daddy felt like hell at the time, and didn't feel like going into any details, so I just accepted his hug, and presumably just nodded a 'yes' to his question.

About a week later, I had recovered, it was a beautiful sping day, and the sound of all our neighbour's mowing machines got me out into the back garden to have a go at our lawn.

I shall never quite forget the look on all the neighbour's faces when Andy opened his bedroom window, and shouted at the top of his voice "Daddy, is your willy better now?"..................

Hmmm ... since this is family forum ... I'll just say it involved a batchelor party and strippers

There are three...

In college I was always taking language classes. I majored in Russian, and also took German and French. I was very evangelistic as well, and everyone in each one of my classes got invited to our Soul Talks that we had on campus.

The problem with the French class though, was that I already spoke beyond that point, and some of my classmates accused me of speaking in tongues. So one day as I was climbing the stairs (almost late) of Weil Hall, I spotted a small garter snake (8-10" or so). It was a cold day with the temps below 30, so since I didn't have time to take it back to the woods, I stuck it in my shirt pocket and went to class.

It was a boring class, we were practicing our "Just squeaze 'em in a cans" ("I am American") and the poor professor was needing some help. So he asked me to come up to the front and we were going to have a conversation. As I stood up, the now warm and awake snake decided to escape.

Est-ce que c'est votre serpent?

Non monsieur, il est sauvage!

Everyone but the professor and I FREAKED OUT! My classmates avoided me after that.

#2 I teach a class to adults on songs and skits for the Boy Scouts every year. A few years ago, they decided that we had to teach more classes as they just filled up (we have a FUN time). So it was just after lunch and we had our largest class. My co instructor/best friend Dan, was talking about what was appropriate and what was not. I had been sitting on this stool and had just gotten up when I passed gas. It wasn't short. Niether was it quiet. Dan, not missing a beat went into how boys love "gross" but could not understand the class' reaction to a "faked fart". Well, it wasn't odorless either, and as he turned around he finally got a whiff. Part of the course is to create your own skit, and one group even made light of the incident. Too funny.

#3 happened during the second Scuba class I ever taught. I checked and double checked and then triple checked my students. It was their first ocean dive off of a boat and they were nervous. So the call to dive came and I was the first one off the boat. I tried to clear my mask and it would not. At fifteen feet could not get it to fill with air. All my students were around me, and I could not get my mask to work. I took it off and made sure there was nothing under the skirt. Then my dive master grabbed my mask, and handed me his. He ascended as I cleared this mask and took the students down.

Back on the boat, he showed me that the face plate was missing.

My first wife and I thought it would be fun to go "parking" inthe middle of the night in a secluded area.Windows steamed up, a knck on the window and a flashlight.After showing the officer our i.d.s he apologized and said they were just checking for kids vandalizing the park.I'm surprised I didn't get a ticket when I sped out of there.
