So... what's the dumbest thing you've said today?

Yesterday when I was out walking I stopped in the street, squealed, pointed to a window and exclaimed merrily: "Toaster!" Then I saw that the crossing street light was green whereas I squealed again, pointed at the light and exclaimed merrily: "Green light!" and started running.

yes it is a literal bus. One that we see every day almost on the way to and from school.

I like hot wings, and there's this wing place in Austin called Pluckers. Their slogan is, "If you don't like our wings, we'll give you the bird." For about three years, I thought this meant a whole free chicken, and my fiance laughed when I told him this. I just got the joke this past Saturday. It means they'll give you the finger, but of course I figured they were still talking about chickens. Good thing I didn't ask for the bird, right?

Sometimes I respond that way too. I don't usually take everything seriously, but I often automatically respond like I do. For example, my brother in-law told me to make sure to rewind the movie when it's over with. I told him flatly that it was a DVD. Everyone smiled at me and someone told me he was joking. Of course I realized he was a quarter of a second after I responded, but I wasn't really paying attention.

Nothing yet today.
I don't really talk that much even though its actually 1510 in Melbourne now, and I got up eight hours ago. Give me some time.

I have a habit of sometimes thinking out loud, and I found myself doing this today at a department store when I was shopping for a purse. I was commenting aloud about the good and bad points of each purse I examined.

"The strap on this one is perfect, and the leather is lovely and soft. I like how it's reinforced here too, for added durability. Pity it's too small. Oh. And too expensive..."

Stuff like that. I'm not sure how many people heard my externalized inner monologue before I realized what I was doing and shut up.

"I made it all by myself"... and I'm 27.

Well, it was more like last night, but I was out with a group of acquaintances, and decided to describe a scene from an old movie that always cracked me up. Of course, no one found it amusing. I just keep putting myself out there...

I don't say dumb things, I just do dumb things.

I do say dumb things from time to time but have not done so lately. Wile I do kick myself in the butt for various things saying the occasional dumb thing is something I generally let go of easily.

I usually don't verbalize enough to allow the opportunity to occur

I know someone who's name is Trevor Neville. I call him Neville, and he doesn't seem to like it much. Today I said:

"Neville is a hero.
Trevor is his pet frog.
Who would you rather be?"

In case you didn't figure it out, I was referring to Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter series. And Trevor is actually a toad, not a frog.

"Man, look at all those wrinkles!", to an old man.

I realise I may have come off as a little mean...err...bluntness...

Starting every sentence with "I". As in "I just bought my first motorized bicycle kit today."

It's an OCD thing. I can't stand starting a sentence off with "I" as it's very selfish.

I had just bought the kit mentioned above and I was just so excited about it that I just wanted to talk about nothing but it.

This wasn't recent, but I just remembered it and thought it was funny. At my last job, before getting fired for something completely unrelated, I told one of the mechanics that he couldn't even fix a sandwich, let alone anything else. He wouldn't stop spraying this stuff that gave me a headache, and besides that he was so ret*d. I just couldn't help it. The man's head must've been stuffed with marsh mellows. I'd rather work with Homer Simpson.
