Renda's story reminded me of a stupid story of my own!
I was 16 years old and had just purchase my first car, a Chevy Nova in mint condition.
I was so proud as I went to pick up my new license plates. At the time, Illinois required two license plates. One for the back and one for the front.
I put on the back plate just fine, but as I was putting the front plate on, the bolt slipped out of my hand and under the middle of the car.
Not wanting to crawl under the car, I decided that I would quickly back the car up about four feet.
I quickly jumped into the car without closing the car door, started the car, and put the car in reverse, and started backing up.
What I didn't take into consideration, was that a brick wall came to the edge of our driveway as part of a courtyard area. The door hit the wall while I was backing up and totally knocked the door off the new car!
Hmmmm, so many stories, which one to use..... OK, here's my favorite:
While attending college, I worked in a cafeteria, and one of my jobs was to keep the serving line stocked. Once, as I was dumping some spaghetti sauce into a pan under the heat lamp (you're way ahead of me, aren't you?), my knuckle bumped into that super-hot flood light. OUCH! Oh man, that hurt! But there was more sauce to dump, so ... OUCH! That hurt again! Same knuckle!
(Stephen, you may do the honors!)

Having been asleep most of the night on the backseat of a car while traveling a great distance. The driver, a friend of mine decided to make a pit stop. I needed to take one too. While he was doing a little shopping, I availed myself to the facilities. While in the stall, I heard someone in the next stall talking on a cell phone. He had the voice of a woman. Imagine that! I have never heard very many men with a woman's voice. While thinking about how rare that was, the light began to dawn on me. It couldn't be. I thought that I had taken notice of the gender designation on the door. On the way out of the restroom, she and I met at the door. Being the gentleman that I am, I opened the door for her...with a slightly red face but made no comment, acting as normal as possible. She said, "Why, thank EWWWWW."
Speaking of the Village Idot? I felt as thought I could have taken the blue ribbon.

NOPE, its the woman who should get the award, for not acknowledging or realizing that they were in a bathroom scenario, and a man is in the LADIES room.

LOL....
I think that she was probably as much embarassed as was I.
I was preaching in MO. one time and this young lady got up to sing. She must have been a little nervous because instead of saying the usual thing she said, "Yall worship me as I sing." The place broke up in laughter!
We had a man that played the sax (he played it very well). One time he got up and said "Worship me as I play". We all laughed also. It was quite funny.
