i dont have an embarassing moment i dont think . . . Id really have to think too hard about
it, and when shit happens i normally dont get embarassed and i just move on.
: What was your most humiliating/embarrassing moment?
: I will start things off.
: It was 2 years ago, and my wife and I first realized we would be having trouble
conceiving. We were both scheduled to go in and get tested... all I had to do was make a
small deposit in a cup, and then drop it off at the hospital lab.
: That morning was also the day of our company chili cook off. I got out of bed, took a
shower, got dressed, and went to the kitchen to add my 'secret ingredient' (Blair's 2am hot
sauce) to my chili. This would guarantee my victory in the "hot" category. The bottle is wax
sealed and I had a devil of a time getting the top off, I eventually did, and I added it to the
chili.
: Ok, now it's time to "make my deposit", so I head to the bathroom and complete the
deed. Just as I am zipping up, I begin to feel a curious burning sensation all over my
'special purpose'... and it was getting worse... so bad in fact that I yelped and tore my pants
off and jumped in the shower aiming the cold stream at it in am attempt to put out the fire.
I realized after a couple of experiments with soap, that I had hot sauce all over my hands,
even though I had washed them, and I was just putting more heat on with every attempt to
scrub. I grabbed my wife's luffa and squired shampoo all over it and dug in. After around
10 minutes, the pain was down to a tolerable level, and I planned my next move. I knew we
had some aloe from our Mexico trip under the sink, and I knew I could make it that far
without the water. So, I jumped out of the tub, grabbed the towel on the rack (white) and
took out the aloe, dumped a huge gob of it on the towel, and... splat, coated myself rather
messily with aloe. Little did I know that this aloe had another ingredient called 'lanocane'
which cause a whole new world of sensation. After dancing around the bathroom for
another 5 minutes, I got dressed, and headed to the lab. I won the chili cook off, and my
'sample' turned out ok, even with the added ingredients.
: My wife called me on the way in, curious about the big blue spot on her new white
towels, and I told her the story. She thought it was much funnier than I did at the time, but
I have learned to appreciate it.
