So I gave a presentation in class tonight.

I was describing a small device with a small screen.

"... and it has an LSD screen.."

**Laughter**

"I mean, LCD screen..."


It could have been worse, I know. Now everybody knows what I'm REALLY thinking about though.

Could have been MUCH worse:

"... and it has an penis screen.."

**Laughter**

"I mean, LCD screen..."

That wasn't so bad.

We had to do presentations a few times this semester, well one time...

We had to tell about one thing that changed our lives. Keep in mind no one knows eachother. And this kid we never, ever heard talk before gets up and say, "I remember the first time I tried penis."

The whole room fell dead silent. The teacher said "Excuse me?" And the kid froze up, it looked like he was about to get hit by a truck. So he didn't say antyhing, and just kept going on telling us about how he flatlined twice, and lost 40 pounds the first time he tried penis.

We found out afterwards, he said peanuts. He was allergic to peanuts, not penis.

Could be worse. When I was 15 I took French classes at a local community college. Before class, someone told me how to say "eat sh!t & die" in French. So when the teacher went around the class asking us what we did before class, I MEANT to say, in French, "I just ate" but instead I said "I just sh@t." :Q

I used to always try to implement a small joke in all my presentations. It loosened me up and I'd ace the presentations after making the joke and getting a laugh out of the audience

ok...we are going for all out stupidity?

During the Christmas rush I was pitching 2 remote starters for two guys. They were really cool and bought a couple from me. Then I told them that I could give them each a cell phone for free. The one guy pointed towards the new Nextel camera phone and said that he would take that one. Now I was trying to total up the cost of their remote starters, labor, parts and everything else in my mind when he said that. I thought I said "I would love to," but I guess everyone heard it as "I love you."

Try talking your way out of that one.
