Butt Trumpet of Glory
I was in Chicago years ago with a group of friends to play a massive game of Rails. (Some of them had figured out an ingenious way to connect different Rails boards to make “Around the World Rails.”) We were taking a break and I was full of my first taste of Chicago pizza and nut brown ale, stretched out on the carpet with a friend giving me the most heavenly back massage. It was amazing and I was putty in his hands. I had just moaned something about how RELAXED I was. Then he pushed just a smidgen too hard. Unexpectedly.
I farted like a thunderous Hollywood sound effect. Like a trumpet sounding the return of Jesus Christ. Like a factory whistle at quitting time. This was not a one-cheek sneak.
There was a stunned silence and then everyone started howling. And in the first lull of laughter, I blurted out, “Maybe TOO relaxed,” and they all cracked up again.
Mortally embarrassing moment + joke = me. Yeah, and I got to hear every possible wisecrack about “the windy city” that weekend, too.
What’s YOUR embarrassing story?

Recently I asked an older guy with a younger babe how long they’d been together.. she replied, “Dude, this is my DAD.”

Hey, RhodesTer,
I know — I read about that on your blog earlier and cracked up. Maybe you were my inspiration to toot my horn. … So to speak.

The most embarrassing moment is the one that I always remember for the rest of my life since I was 7 years old:
It was on the school yard where I teased a girl by running and tapping her head (run-by tapping?). But I ran too fast, so I slipped and fell in front of her. Everyone laughed and I felt like an idiot.
Don’t know why I still remember it. I need professional help!

Good one, Rudy — er, I’m not laughing at all. *suppressing snickers* I think those boy-girl accidents are the worst, somehow. A bit of ego gets wound up in the situation, doesn’t it!
You made me think of another boy-girl one of my own. I was in the seventh grade and hugging my boyfriend goodbye after he’d come over to my house. He was a lot taller than me, and I smiled against his polo-style shirt. Then my BRACES caught on the soft knit fabric. I mean, they snagged a thread and snarled in a death grip on the fabric. He tried to pull away to leave, and there was some shrieking and flapping of arms for a minute before I could make it clear to him to BE STILL. He left with a small hole in the front of his (new) shirt, and I had to go pick the thread out of my braces after he left. Oops. I thought it was both embarrassing and funny, and he was just peeved at the loss of his shirt. Bye, humorless guy.

Haha… that’s great. Usually when we’re young, this sort of thing don’t bother us, but for some reason, some incidents stick in our minds more than others.
I wish I was blogging back then. I would’ve had a good chuckle re-reading those incidents.
