What is the most inappropriate thing you've ever said?

What is the most inappropriate thing you've ever said? True stories only. For me, it was probably when a fellow at work was telling me about the passing of his uncle. As it turns out, over that weekend his uncle had died on the golf course. I asked: "What hole was he on?" I got a blank stare in return. Second place would probably be at a family reunion when my 6 year old niece entered the room with a banana in her pocket. Naturally, I had to ask: "Is that a banana in your pocket or are you glad to see me?" To this day my brother in law will not let his kids stay at our house. In my defense, how often does someone actually have a banana in their pocket? I feel fate really was unfair - I had to ask the question. There was no resisting it.

The defense rests. I don't see why people here are so bent out of shape about this. It went over the girl's head as I supposed it would.

Kids are often like recorders with replay buttons that you have no control over. They don't need to understand what they've recorded and replay. My BIL and I, along with a couple of our friends, have gotten his 8 year old son into the habit of saying, "That's what she said." It wasn't entirely intentional, it's just something we say to each other often. The vast majority of the time he doesn't say it at... let's say an appropriately inappropriate time, but every once in a while he nails it, and we find it hysterical. He has no idea why it's so funny, but he likes the attention nonetheless. I'm just waiting for the day he gets in trouble at school. My sister is, needless to say, rather annoyed with all of us.

I asked a guy I used to work, who has alopecia, if he lazered his head/eyebrows - not realising why they weren't there.. a blank stare back - but due to the lack of eyebrows - I could quite judge his reaction ;) (Just so I don't look a complete James Blunt, his baldness was the topic of conversation!)

When my wife said she was going to give someone a piece of her mind, I told her it wouldn't take long.

My kid is nearly twelve and has gotten that from somewhere (Youtube?) -- though of course I use it too. As luck would have it, a few weeks ago the tech writer lady at work advised me that I hadn't given her enough documentation to include in the overall project documentation -- but she worded it as "you didn't give me enough meat". You can imagine the first thing that popped into my head, but I resisted, and instead replied "I've heard that before".

Oh, so it's that way is it... My aunt was showing me a picture of my cousin one day and I said "who died and made him wear a suit?" -- her response: "my father". :sigh:

When the company secretry was chatting while about a hand truck and how useful they were after she lost her husband I said "now that was careless, oh sorry!" (I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation I was doing what I was supposed to be, unlike now!) and hid behind the pick and place machine to get the foot out of my mouth! :)

You mean versus 100 years ago when it was unlikely that the family much less the child would even have a banana? And where the father and a couple of neighbors could take the idiot into the backyard and beat him senseless without interference from others and certainly not the police?

Yes, that's precisely what I meant, because I'm incapable of seeing anything other than two absurd ends of a spectrum... :rolleyes:
