I love it when people put their foot in their mouth.
It’s a nice experience. You have to feel better about yourself. What’s exceptionally nice is the short time right after they realize what they did. The feeling of insecurity in their eyes makes me weep of joy. Obviously, I can’t do that out loud.
Another thing you learn in these situations is how people’s definition of what coarse and vulgar is differs from person to person. One person’s balls can be another person’s breakfast. Conversely, one persons balls can be represented in many, many ways.
It gets all the much better when stuff like this happens around your family. The look your parents can give you when you mess up is priceless and always transports you to your childhood. And we all know what happened then.
Today, my girlfriend put her foot in her mouth when we were having lunch with my parents. The look they gave her was priceless. So priceless I couldn’t look at them, I just knew. It gets worse, as I know they used to hate not like an ex-girlfriend of mine because they thought she was vulgar. So things are bound to be interesting the next time I talk to my folks.
But it was still funny.

They wanted to find something, it could’ve been anything else. You know people love you for your coarseness, among other things.
