When you have to tell someone that they've spelt their home state wrong....

Calling starboard wrong side no matter where you are on the boat.

I was leaving a shop today where you always get hassled on the way out by a woman selling windows. I was ready for it today and before the girl waiting at the exit could speak, I assured her I didn't need any new windows; mine were all renewed five years ago.

"I can't sell you any windows", she said... I'm a lawyer.

Just recently, well last Friday I had to walk into one of those adult stores to pick up some pipe tobacco. I generally try to avoid those places at all costs as I feel like a creep going in there and I have no need to buy anything in one of those establishments. Anyways I get what I need and I'm about to bail the hell out of there when I look over and saw one of my old classmates with a considerable stack of "movies". We exchanged brief eye contact, I nodded his direction, then walked briskly away without looking back. It's not that I have a problem with people buying those sorts of things, it's just that there are certain parts of a person's private life I don't want to get to know. Needless to say we didn't talk to each other at our class reunion party.

I was just wondering: we've got these "E-cigarettes" now... has anyone produced an "E-pipe" yet?

Awkward? Embarrassing? That's actually a pretty good question. I never thought of it until you mentioned it.

E-Cigars?

Eichhörnchen · 03-02-16, 01:34 PM

I think that E-technology has probably passed that particular generation by; I have just one friend now who smokes a pipe, and he has only the most tenuous grasp on life

I was once an Army Cadet Platoon Sergeant (kind of a Dad's Army for boys) and returning to the drill hall from manouevres one Summer evening, we approached a layabout who called out "Left-right-left-right". I halted the platoon and walked up to him, getting right inside his personal space.

I had no idea what his reaction might be, but he calmly lit up a fag and walked away...

Hmm. This is definitely my most embarrassing moment ever story that happened about 30 yrs ago when I was still working in the shipping/receiving department. We have this old Scotchman who worked for us who was the biggest practical joker I've ever seen. He once made a rocking chair for our Newfie foreman for example that rocked sideways instead of back-n-forth just to give you an idea of what he was like.

My embarrassing moment started when I happened to walk by him and he gave me a quick pat on the back. I know, that should of set my spidey senses a tingle-ling but I was in a hurry to deliver some packing slips to the main office. Before entering the office, I happened to notice one of the welders give me a funny look. Hmm. A clue that something was amiss but of course, busy as I was, I ignored it. I entered the office and walked quite some distance to deliver my stuff and I kept noticing these odd looks I was getting while doing so. I dropped off the packing slips and headed back to the shop all the time getting more and more strange looks. What the heck is going on? I get back into the shop and every tradesman is standing there with big grins on their faces that stopped me in my tracks. "What's with you guys" I asked. One of them points to his back. I looked as best I could at mine and to my horror, realized that the old Scotsman had pinned a pair of fake vacuum-formed boobs on the back of my coveralls. AArghhh!! I had been up front with all these secretary's and big-wigs around with these things on the whole time. Arghh! I told the old Scotsman about this and he just laughed saying that was an unexpected bonus. I could of killed him but truth was I soon found myself laughing as much or more about how good he got me.
