Picture it....Camp Pendleton, CA...2002.

We're setting up equipment for a field exercise.  I'm walking along the area for the communications gear with my chiefs when...

SSgt Higginson:  Once we get the radio nets all set, we can shoot the data link over to that hill where the MUX antenna will be set up.

GySgt Soto: Let's go over there and check it out.  You coming, sir?

1stLt Morgan (me):  Yeah just a second.  Let me run back down and refill my canteen real quick. 

Our fearless leader starts down the hill...and a rock rolls under his foot, causing him to tumble and roll.....ALL THE WAY...ABOUT 15-20 YARDS...DOWN THE HILL!!!

SSgt Higginson: (shouting from the top of the hill) Sir, maybe you should take a parachute with you next time and just jump down there!

Girl, I ain't tryin' to fool with you and that doggone hill.  When I fell, that was only around a few fellow Marines.  That hill and Cameron U Stadium is near a busy traffic intersection.  Word will get around all of Lawton, OK about this bald-headed clown rolling down the hill all out of control

I'm even embarresed to type this, but it's funny now.  I went to the restroom, and when I came back to my desk, one of the agents needed help with something so when I got up, he says "do you play flag football or something" I turned and looked, I had toilet paper hanging from my waist.

I got a few, but I'll shoot one out now real quick.

So we are standing inplace at a military ceremony.  I have most of my sousaphone music memorized so I never take anything but my horn.  Well, the march that I thought was next WASNT next because of a change.  The correct march starts soft with woodwinds and then the rest of the band comes in lol.  So the commander drops the baton and I crank the LOUDEST Ab youve ever heard.  The commander is looking like  and half the band jumps lol.

"I have unsuspended the account for SSgt Person even doe the DoD IA awareness training certificate is printed for Karl Cockney."

...instead of "though".

You think it was a mistake or a real lack of knowledge? I make mistakes like that sometimes because I'm not really paying attention to what I'm typing. I'll know the right word and how to spell it, etc. but I'll still type something else.  I'm hoping that was dude's issue.

I used to keep one of the Siamese Fighting fish at my desk at work. After a year of having the fish it died. So I take it to the bathroom to flush him down the toilet. It was one of those electronic toilets that flush by itself, except that it wouldn't flush. I tried to get the fish down the pot, but to no avail so I just leave the fish there.

I go back to work, and after a little while I walk down the same hallway the bathroom is located and I hear a "What the heck!" from the men's bathroom. I still wonder if he saw the fish before or after his business.

I think it was a mistake, because this dude is always trying to show how smart he is with policies. That's not even close to "though"! I would understand "thought" or "through", but not "doe".

Anyway.

Recently my "embarrassing moments" come from me taking people literally all the time, or the reverse.

Yeah but depending on how he talks he could've been typing so fast and typed what he said in his head phonetically.  I do it a lot.  It's like a subconscious thing.  Or I'll hear something else while I'm typing and type a word of that instead of what I really meant to say.

Okay, I had to bring this back up because I just had a moment... LOL.

I have a church budget meeting tonight, so I've been preparing for it all morning. 

At work, I have another termination I'm working on, and the guy has been calling me all day working on how to return his company equipment, transfer phone service, etc... so while I'm talking to him, a client calls asking me who he needs to talk to about xyz problem... so I'm back and forth between the two. Both of them were kinda getting on my nerves, and when I told the client who I was going to put him in touch with, he said, "oh, I don't see his name on the Corporate Management team, he must be in sales or something." I thought he was being snooty, so I was trying to correct him and said, "Yes, he is in sales; he's actually the Vice President and MINISTRY LEADER."  The worst part is that I didn't even catch myself. The guy said, "ministry leader??" And I said, "I'm sorry; DEPARTMENT leader. I meant he's the department leader."

I can't believe I didn't post this on this thread back in 2009.



One night I'm talking to my wife about our eating habits and I say I will support her in anything. Anyway she was taking this pills called Ally to help her cut down on her fat intake. So I decide I will take one with her. ...

The next day at lunch I have this HUGE salad with  TON of Catlina salad dressing. About 3/4th of the way through I fell something in my tummy so I look around and notice no one is by me so I let out a little toot. I felt so much better so I kept eating. Later just before I am done I realize I need to pass some more gas. So I go ahead and let it out. That felt so good I smiled. I get up to wash my dishes and stuff and I come back to my seat and I realize my seat has a wet spot. I'm like wow how did I waste salad dressing there. So I grab a paper towel to clean the seat and I catch a whiff of what was on the seat. I'm LIKE NO WAY!!! Did someone just boo boo on a seat and not clean it!!! So I go to the restroom to wash my hands the whole time thinking I can't believe someone would do that. On my way to the restroom I realized I had some business to take care of my stomach was starting to say hey you really really need to go now. And it was weird cause it was watery. Anyway I finished my business and went to wash my hands. So while washing my hands a thought occurred to me what if I did it? I'm like naw no way ... But I check the back of my pants anyway just in case and sure enough it was wet and had the same smell. ...

I went back cleaned the chair and left work. I sat on a towel in my car and drove home used the restroom again then took a shower. Changed my clothes and took some of my wife's pad thingies and stuck them in my underwear and went back to work. No one said anything but I sometimes wonder if anyone knew ...
