Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

I am a nursing student in a diverse population area. Most of my patients speak spanish. I don't. I'm trying to learn, but not having much success. I do my best to learn new words, and this weekend learned the word for rabbits/bunnies "conejos.

So yesterday, while I was talking to my patient, I was telling him I learned a new spanish word. He asked what it was, and I proudly announced:

"Cajones."

Which, of course, means testicles or (fill in the slang here...) in spanish. Until both he and the nurse overseeing me burst into laughter, I didn't realize what had happened.

I stammered, stuttered, and finally just gave in to embarrassed laughter. There the three of us were, rolling. I was bright red, too.

Oh well. I'm still going to work on my spanish...I will just be more careful about transposing letters in the future.

Best-

I used to work at a retirement home in the kitchen. One day, we were serving chicken and this little old man came through the line. I asked him if he wanted white or dark meat and he replied that he wanted a breast if it was small. I said, without thinking, "I'm sorry all I have are big breasts" There was dead silence for a few seconds and then the entire line burst out laughing. I was so mortified.
