I was in a hurry and was plowing through a crowd of people in my way. I didn’t notice that the crowd was Rod Blagojevich and the State House press corps. I ran right into the Governor and my lips even touched his nose. We both stood there for a moment, and eventually I said “Sorry” as I pushed him aside and kept running. - 47th Ward - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 2:36 pm: Mine involved a Southwest flight from Vegas that had a three hour layover where I spent all of my time and what was left of my money at an airport bar (this was also at about 10:00 in the morning). The rest of the story involves projectile vomiting at 33,000 feet, somewhere over Kansas. I owe dozens of passengers some serious dry-cleaning reimbursements. Thankfully this was many, many years ago and the statute of limitations has long since passed. When they offer you a double shot for only $1 extra, think very hard before going down that road. - DuPage - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 2:46 pm: Locked my keys, cellphone, and wallet in my car. - bogey golfer - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:22 pm: @DuPage….who hasn’t? - Ducky LaMoore - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:22 pm: Not really answering the question… too many choices. But embarrassing White Sox nostalgia is always on tap…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLIpmACBq1g - DuPage Saint - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:27 pm: I guess we can all be grateful Blum was not going camando - DE - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:28 pm: At a high school speech on Germany which I Delivered speech from typed notes that said ‘#1 in grapes’, but I said ‘#1 in rapes’ without realizing. Everyone was laughing and I didn’t know why until the teacher confronted me and accused me of intentionally making the mistake for laughs. Felt like never going back to school. - Angry Republican - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:29 pm: I was caught voting for Blagojevich - Flapdoodle - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:31 pm: I was teaching a university class and as usual often propped my foot up on an empty seat while speaking. Problem was, my pants zipper had broken and my fly was wide open, so I was semi-flashing the class. Topic for that day: Sex harassment. - Jimbo - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:45 pm: I was nearly drowned in a lake at camp Dubois. Some older kids were having a laugh - Jimbo - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:46 pm: Angry Republican, well done. You are the funniest comment so far - Robert Montgomery - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:48 pm: “I was teaching a university class…” Is that why you picked the handle “Flapdoodle”? - Kate Cloonen - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 3:54 pm: In addition to many others, I started to lead the singing of the Star Spangled Banner with the words, “Oh Beautiful.” Since hardly anyone had joined me, I just stopped, and said, “Let’s start all over.” - Flapdoodle - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 4:10 pm: I’ll feed you once, Mr. Montgomery, so enjoy it a bit before going back under your rock. - Cheswick - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 4:20 pm: == and my lips even touched his nose. == Omg I laughed so hard. Thank you for that. I needed that laugh. - levivotedforjudy - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 4:29 pm: I was a speaker at an event and after the speech, I was doing the expected networking. An attendee asked me for my business card to set up a meeting and when I reached to get one, I inadvertently pulled out a condom. Oh, yeah, one more thing….it was at a women business owners conference. - Ann - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 7:27 pm: Once filed a brief with the 7th circuit with four typos–on the cover. - yinn - Monday, Mar 9, 20 @ 9:01 pm: I’ve had a couple of memorable wardrobe malfunctions, once while water skiing and another time while dancing at a toga party.
