When I was in 4th grade, each of us had to stand in front of the class and give an oral book report. My book was Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. It came my turn and I stand up and I say, "The title of my book is Snow White and The Seven Drawers (as in underware!!!) The WHOLE ENTIRE class started laughing at me!! I was so I went on to give my report, but no one would ever let me forget it..... And the bad thing is, this year is supposed to be our 10th year high school reunion...I think I will stay at home!!

I once worked for an oral surgeon who is a great guy, but unfortunately didn't have much in the way of social skills, but had a sometimes pompous way of telling everyone who worked for him that they should always conduct themselves in a professional manner in front of the patients. We had seated a paraplegic in the examining room for a consult. When "Dr. Etiquette" strolled into the room (right past the wheelchair that was outside the room--evidently oblivious to it), he extended his hand for a handshake and as the patient leaned toward him to shake hands he said,"Don't get up."... The patient just saidm "Don't worry."
We had a lot of fun with that one....
obvious wa*ker!

I used to be a waitress at a Denny's Restaurant. I remember waiting on a customer so politely "Hi, how are you sir." "What would you like to order sir?" 'Sir' looked at me coldly and said, " Well first, you can call me M'am!" Possibly the most embarassing moment in my life (so far)

I once worked in a nursing home and one of my colleagues was congratulating oneof the relatives saying "It is so nice to see how much you care for you mother by coming every day and feeding her lunch" he said " Mother? She's my wife!"
Nuff said!

NEVER assume the relationship is what it seems!

Recently, while working a shift in LTC, a resident asked me to guess her age. Well... Honestly, she looked 90 and had the personality of an angel. She bubbled around the facility in a walker with her rotund body.

I, in my "wisdom" replyed quickly "75"! Her face dropped, she told me she was 69 and soon to be 70 !!!

Heh! I get that over the phone all the time. Me a man. Honestly. I mean I do grow a beard and a mustache, but give me a break. I do get them shaved off every now and then.

I have often pulled up to a McDonalds and asked for a whopper. They always said they didn't make them there. The nerve.

One of my first times giving an injection in the hip, I said to the pt, "your gonna feel a little prick in your butt" yeah I could have died.

Me and my son like to have fun with the telemarketers, One guy called from the KC Star, I'm sure he was trying to sell me a newspaper subscription, but before he got his spill out I told him politely, "I was over the whole thing and didn't want to give any more interviews and frankly in my opinion it was all blown out of proportion by the media anyways" and hung up...........it was perty funny just wondering what he must have been thinking about me
