Your Most Embarrassing Moment.

[padi56]

I will start thought this might be good for a smile or two.

A few years ago I was in hospital recovering after surgery, and I'd been confined to bed for 5 days. To cut a long story short, there was a VERY cute Filipino nurse that was dealing with me. We got on really well, and one morning, she woke me up to give me my medication and had a very "knowing" grin on her face. I then realised I had a very thin cotton sheet over me, and a rather impressive case of a "morning glory" for all the ward to see Since that moment I just couldn't look at her, without us both grinning, like a pair Cheshire cats.

Hmm - if I was actually sober enough at the time to record my most embarrassing moment for posterity, I probably would have made a point to forget it anyway.

This past week I was in the hospital due to ischemic colitis (?) loosing blood from colon. No food for 3 days as they wanted me and my body on bed rest for that time. Anyway, one morning I'm sitting there in bed and a student female nurse comes in and (she's not bad looking) tells me she is my nurse for the day and she must check me from head to toe. I'm not embarrassed by my body by any means but, I've never had to give up free looks or feels to anyone. She had just finished poking and prodding my legs and feet when I pulled the sheet up when she told me she had to inspect everything.... Folks this was a first for me! She reached down moved it from left to right and then lifted it up and proceeded to check my scrotum.. I don't know if I scared her with my size or lack there of or she for real was only there for the day because she didn't come back!

If she kept playing with it, she must have enjoyed it

LoL LoL this is true Paul!!!

Welcome back Earl hope things now are all better including your bits etc

Far too many to mention... um, but this is good:

In university, I took transit to school (hmm, nothing's changed). Anyways, the buses on my line were unreliable. I had an edict to never run for a bus, but on this line, it went out the window.

I came up the escalator from the subway and saw at the other end of the bus platform, my bus, pretty full and about to leave. I sprinted across the bus depot, through the doors to the platform and I actually jumped up the steps to make it on the bus.

However, because I'm 6'6", I misjudged the height of the bus door and hit my head HARD on the top of the steel door frame, and collapsed to the pavement. The driver helped me get up and into the bus. But people inside the bus were laughing pretty hard (even before they knew I was 'somewhat' okay).

(It also explains a few things I'd been wondering about.....)

Yeah, yeah...

If I had a nickel for every time I have bumped my head...

This happened a few years ago, but I felt so stupid afterward that it's burned in my head and I can see it as though it were yesterday. It was a really busy summer night. We were running from one call to another, there wasn't even time to fill out a log sheet between calls. On nights like this the dispatchers will hold the less serious calls until the priority ones have been handled.
At one point,they send me and another guy to a housing complex for a front door that had swollen in the humidity and couldn't be opened. I couldn't believe they were taking two guys out of service for something as trivial as this, when we were as busy as we were with much more serious events going on
When we got there we were a little irked to say the least. The guy that called explained that his door had swollen shut and he couldn't get in. He went on to say that the superintendent usually comes over and kicks it open for him, but he was unable to reach him. Me being agitated to begin with and as usual, forgetting to think prior to speaking says "So because you can't get the super, you call the Police to open your door. Why don't you kick it open yourself, what are ya crippled" With that the guy just looked at me for a second. He then bent over and pulled up his right pants leg and showed me his prosthetic leg from the knee down. He wasn't mad, he looked as though he was disgusted that he had to call anyone for help, but he just couldn't do it himself.
I felt so bad that I wanted to buy him a new door and whatever else he wanted for that matter. Well, I ended up getting mine in the end. When we kicked the door my leg was already extended and my knee locked out by the time my foot made contact. I tore a ligament and ended up having to get my knee scoped twice as a result. After being laid up for fourteen weeks I finally got back to work.
The first ting I did after I got back was to try and find the guy to apologize. He had moved prior to my return. To this day I would love to bump into him and tell him how bad I felt.

[G Shearing]

I taught French at an Elementary School in my town and was asked to present the two top students with awards.
I thought: how about that nice Thai silk white suit I used to wear?
Gawd! have I put on that much? Pants were away too tight. So, I got out a razor blade and opened up the seam at the back. OK still too tight just a bit more....
"Mr. Shearing will now present the French awards..."
Just as I arose from my seat there was a tremendous ripping sound...Oh no!!! I had a belt on but would anything show?
I stepped up to the podium pulling my jacket down as far as it would go.
Later several people said to me: "You were the best of them all. You kept it brief". I thought good it could have been worse, I could have done the whole thing in my briefs.
Someone tried to pull me onto my feet to join a First Nations dance line. I declined, and slipped out the back door. No use tempting fate...

There was another time, back in my racing days when I got taken down in a big crash (note, everyone 'gets taken down'... no one causes it, lol).

If you know cycling, you'll know that racers wear spandex shorts and nothing underneath them. Anyways, this race was a prominent one in downtown Toronto and there were literally thousands of spectators.

When you go down, your first instinct is to get back on the bike and get back in the race. I jumped up, sort my bike out of the tangled mess of crashed bikes, it looked okay to ride so I swung my leg over the saddle and something didn't feel right...

My spandex shorts had been 'burned' off me (from friction with the asphalt) and there I was standing in front of a few thousand people in downtown Toronto with my meat and two veg for all to see. Needless to say, my race was over.

I much prefer it when someone else is doing the winding for me.
