    Slip o' the tongue

    I was talking with a group of men today in our community and yes, I was kilted. Several asked about my kilt and available accessories. One man asked about flat caps with kilts. I mentioned the discussions that can be found at XTMS, but told them to each his own. Then it happened....

    WHen addressing why a cap at all, I said, "Some of us are phallically challenged." I meant to say follicly challenged. It got a loud burst of laughter in our meeting and a woman in the back said, "that's me!"

    Hopefully I am not going to be banned from Weight Watchers meetings in our community.

    Probably some of them from weight watchers don't even know they are challenged. If you follow my drift.
    If you can avoid it never get into a fair fight.

    Isn't that what's called a "Freudian Slip"?

    I've always had a suspicion that there was more to flat caps.

    My mom used to be a substitute teacher at my high school. She subbed for a Biology class one day and mispronounced Organism. NEVER LET YOUR MOM SUB FOR BIOLOGY. One of the students went to the nurse for falling out of his chair and hitting his head.
