OK - so I'm working in my hospital lab tonight with three other co-workers...all female. We start talking about a patient's low oxygen reading and what could be causing it.
What I meant to say was, "Maybe the guy is sucking on a muffler," making a joke that the guy was inhaling carbon monoxide.
But no, that's not what came out of my mouth.
What I ended up saying was...
"Maybe the guy is suckling on a muff-er."
Yeah - everyone was staring at me. No one was laughing.
How fucking embarrassing...
