Using wrong words instead of correct ones......
"Yes, I would like a Dr.Pecker to drink."

I don't know if Fudrucker's is a chain or not, but is a very tasty hamberger joint, but I'm sure you already figured out "Rudf****r's"

Kentucky Fried Chicken is the same situation. When I was about 16 I said it wrong, my mom almost killed me!

I remember when I was a receptionist I had to mute the phone to ask my supervisor a question. Well I took long to get back to the client and I noticed that the client had hung up. So I said oh well forget it , and I hung up. Well stupid me , I forgot to unmute the phone. The phone rang and I said (the comp name) may I help you? the client on the other line would respond and when I would respond she/he wouldn't hear me. I was like "what the heck"!!!!! and I kept hanging up on the clients , call and call again!!! after about 5 calls did I realize I was muted!!!!! I stood quiet and never said a word

Then I had a private laugh

These are great! Here's mine: I'd placed an elderly male patient on the bedpan with instructions to put on the call light when he'd completed his business. I was at the station when I saw his light go off. Bypassing the usual "How may I help you?" route, I answered the light directly with "Are you ready to get off?" I didn't even realize the implications of what I'd said until my colleagues, after initially looking startled, burst out laughing. Fortunately, so did the patient.

Har! Here's my most recent one. I belong to a private group for women, and I'm one of the supervisors. Well, the head supervisor decided I should start a forum on survivors of abuse. I couldn't figure the thing out no matter what, But I finally had a brainstorm. After that, I logged into my email account where there were 6 new announcements about the new forum, and an additional 6 announcements about the book I placed there.
After I deleted them, I wrote a message to the group asking if they felt they were adequately notified.

Egads! so many...but these posts are great.

One very recently--in my micro lab class we were taking specimens of things with sterile swabs and one of the things we had to check for was for strep by doing a throat culture. I was the victim. My lab partner approached me with the swab and before I opened up I asked the professor 'how much of him should I take before I gag'. OOPS. Luckily my male labpartner is a very very good friend and he expects stupid statements from me like this.

A co-worker reminded me last night of a little faux pas of mine some months ago......

I was being introduced to one of the new doctors, a plastic surgeon whose brochure I happened to have at home, and before my brain was engaged, my mouth was in fifth gear: "Oh, you're much better-looking in person than you are in your picture!"

I work with a male dialysis tech who is very small. Although he's in his 20s, he is the size of a 7 or 8 yr old boy.

He recently said "little prick, here." before he stuck a pt. I couldn't help thinking "Yeah, I bet."


I was working at an inpt hospice, when a pt remarked to the charge nurse what a nice place our unit was. The nurse replied, "Yes, people are dying to get in here."
She was mortified. The pt was gracious enough to just smile.

One thing is true. You never hear a woman bragging about how big they are!
