Famous blunders in History:

"Gee, how nice of the Greeks to leave us this gift after years of war"--Troy
"Bah, we'll have plenty of time before winter sets in"--Napoleon
"Take Stalingrad"--Hitler

So, is it considered okay that we have a whole race of people named because Columbus got lost?

Another famous blunder... a man actually answering the question, "Does this make me look fat?" in the affirmative! :D

:D :D :D :D :D I'll bet he never made THAT particular mistake again.

Or how about, Yes, dear, you do need to lose a few pounds.

While making chicken stock I said "I can't believe how much fat there is in a chicken..." (watching the fat float to the top while it cooled).
DH replied "Well, just think how much fat there would be if we cooked you..." insert foot in mouth here! :eek: :D

And I can picture both of your faces! :D

Note to others: Mcgeiger is skinny (in a good healthy way)!

For your "blunders" thread . . . from the "laugh at yourself" or "have a good laugh as we get into the weekend" department:

I was at a fabric store, holding too many fall decorations. The checkout guy was really busy, and he didn't see me behind him. I waited a moment to ask if I could park my stuff there, and finally said, "Excuse me; could I put these things here for a few minutes? I'm kind of running out of hands." As the checker turned to answer me, I saw . . . the HOOK he had for a right hand!! :eek:

Oops.

Earlier today I was baking a cake for tomorrow thanksgiving. When the timer rang, I took out the cake to see if it was done, but it really looked undercooked. That is when I noticed I had forgotten to turn the oven on.

The first christmas my sister and her husband were married, one of the gifts he gave her: a mousetrap . . . because they were having trouble with mice in the house.

They've been married 24 years and we all still remember that. Poor guy. And now I've spread the story even further.

Want another one? DH and I were at Wal-Mart long ago. We saw this older guy there, with one kind of plaid shirt, a completely different kind of plaid pants, mismatched socks, and a belt like we'd never seen before. Kind of cute, but the guy looked like a test pattern. He was facing the other way, so he didn't see me or hear me when I barely whispered to DH, "huh; what is he, blind?" The guy slowly turns to make his way down the aisle, and tappy tappy tappy goes the white cane . . . :eek:

DH and I had to go several aisles over; we were laughing so hard we could hardly stand up and we didn't want the poor guy to hear us.

The kicker is that we saw the man a few minutes later, with his wife!! Wonder what he did to tick her off, to where she'd let him go out like that? ("Sure, hon; you look great!") :D
