Too many to count. Hate to recycle answers, but here goes: Hot guy: Have you ever had sex on the beach? Me (tipsy at party): Yes but the sand was too rough on my knees and back. He was a bartender and he meant the drink. . . .I must have turned an awful shade of red.

Yes, and if I haven't forgetten it by now, I'm sure my grandma hasn't either. My grandma and grandpa were talking about how they met and he pulled out a picture of her from yeeeears ago. She was still a teenager in the picture, and she looked so different than now. I was young at the time- maybe 12?- and blurted out, "oh, grandma, you used to be pretty!" The whole room went silent. I wanted to slap myself.

I was talking about the aspects of death the other day in front of my best friend's sister's boyfriend who recently lost his Dad (a month ago). I felt horrible, and still do but he wasn't upset. I shut up quickly when I realized what I was doing though!!

Not recently, mostly because having a foot in my mouth would be rather unsanitary.

1) Yes, for me, it is a kind of disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_in_Mouth_Disease 2) I like this story from an unknown Pentagon hero, made popular by Donald Rumsfeld: "Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know."
