    Mighta been posted already, but I'm to lazy to search :)

    Here are a few people who wished they had thought a little longer before
    they spoke...

    1. I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and
    asked loudly, "How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?" I
    turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn't
    say a word... he knew better.

    2. I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I
    was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for
    several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen
    who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking,
    I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls."

    3. My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a
    variety of nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind
    the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just
    looking at your nuts." I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day,
    my sister has never let me forget.

    4. While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler ran amok. I was
    finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and
    annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start
    behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me
    in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me
    go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee
    last night!" The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
    Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of
    my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last
    thing I heard when
    the door closed behind me were screams of laughter.

    5. A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally
    got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price
    tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and
    boomed out for all the store to hear, "PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN,
    TAMPAX SUPER SIZE ." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of
    the store apparently misunderstood the word "Tampax" for "THUMBTACKS."
    In a business-like tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom. "DO YOU
    WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH
    A HAMMER?"

    6. Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My
    three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was
    on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch
    inbetween errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While
    enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my
    seven-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Danny
    had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him if he needed to go,
    and he said "No." I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child has had an
    accident, and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny,
    are you SURE you didn't have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just KNEW
    that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse.
    Soooooo, I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?" This
    time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his
    cheeks and yelled. "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!" While 30 people nearly
    choked to death on their tacos laughing! He calmly pulled up his pants
    and sat down. An old couple made me feel better by thanking me for the
    best laugh they'd ever had!

    7. This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very
    embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think
    before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get
    any....a true story... We had a female news anchor who, the day after it
    was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and
    asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not
    only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were
    laughing so hard.
