In this particular unit we usually gave a taped end of shift report, but it wasn't unusual to give an oral report, need be.

The one male nurse in the unit was due to tape. I found where he was and opened the door to the patients room and asked him, as he was holding the male patients "urethra" in his hand and ready to insert a foley cath, "Are you giving oral?"

I worked at Hardee's (fast food) when I was in high school. One shift, when I was working drive-through, a man ordered a hot fudge sundae. I asked him if he needed nuts..."No thanks, I already have some," he replied, without missing a beat. I'm blushing just recounting the story...

A few years back when I worked in a Deli an elderly woman came in to order some meat and cheese trays. Instead of asking her if she wanted condiments with them I accidently said "condoms".

He thanked me and left but never called. Later, after giggling about this to the engineer that removed the door, I found out the man wanted to watch the ball game, but his wife was very ill and needed supervision in the bathtub...

- At college on the first day of an advanced geography class we were talking about a desert in China...the Gobi. Later I raised my hand to ask a question, and called it the "Gumby" Desert. They teased me about it all semester.

OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT! I do allot of that. Totally understand!

Offered a doctor some Reese's Penis instead of Reese's Pieces one time. He said "i don't know who Reese is, but i doubt he's willing to give that away. Besides, i have one of my own". Words do not express embarrassment of that level.
