   I work for a pretty well known company. One day I accidentally replied to the North American president with a random picture of guy with a puppet I had altered in paint with a series of profanities.
   
   The email I replied to was an "organizational announcement" with a bunch of people being promoted I had never heard of. I used some explitives to spruce up the saying "things sure have changed around here." I thought I was sending to a friend, but accidentally hit "reply" instead.
   
   Several hours later, while I was still unaware of my faux pas, his secretary called me and told me I was being fired, and that the president wanted to speak with me personally. Just as my heart was about to stop, she started laughing and said "just kidding!" and cautioned me to be more careful in the future.
   
   Lesson well learned.

   I just asked dad. He said that when I was a baby, I used to hit myself in the head with a rattle. I hope he's lying, but that would make sense of a lot of things today. He said it was the most amusing and disturbing thing I used to do.

      When my sister was a new born my dad bent down to pick her up. He had a Zippo lighter in his front pocket. When he bent down it fell out and hit her in the head!! She cried for a while. He recently admitted this. My sister is 21 now. She said she wondered where that dent in her forehead came from.

   I lost electricity for three days during an ice storm. I'd go to my brother's house to use his shower. It was on the third day that my Dad informed me that my hot water ran on gas, not electricity (and I knew this, it just didn't dawn on me that I could still use the shower). Doh!

   How about this; we were in the car and my baby son was crying. I thought "Bugger safety, I've just got to keep him quiet so we don't crash." So I breast fed him; all is quiet.
   
   We stop and park and I walk along the street... not realising that I've not pulled my jumper down and boob is still on show....
   
   I wondered why everyone was looking at me.....

      Ahhh, I'd be mortified!
      
      I have a boob story. I remember my grandmother telling me a story how she accidentally shut her boob in the fridge. It was one of the old kinds that were really heavy so she. And you had to pull up on the handle to open it. She was crying and my grandfather had to open the door. She always laughed when she told me that story. Funny stuff.

   This is not my story, but it fits the category so well that I have to share it. Ten years ago or so, when my sister was in her early twenties, her boyfriend came by my house after he'd been drinking. He went into the bathroom, set his car keys on the back of the toilet, and promptly knocked them in. Alcohol-induced logic led him to believe that perhaps if he flushed, they would "swirl to the top". It didn't work. Fortunately, that curving pipe serves a purpose and we were able to fish them out with a coat hanger. At this point, he still hadn't gotten around to using the bathroom, so we went out and he shut the door and promptly knocked his keys into the toilet. And flushed.

   I've always had problems with binary options (yes/no true/false). Give me five options and i can usually remember them all, but with two things, I often get confused. Possibly because I tend to complicate everything to a ridiculous extent anyway. It took me forever to learn left from right because I was convinced it depended on which way one was facing.
   
   At any rate, when I was about 7, my parents told me that dog's wag their tails when they are happy, and cats when they are agitated. Naturally, I couldn't keep those straight in my mind.
   
   Animals love me, and about a week later, when I was walking the mile home from elementary school, a big dog ran up to me wagging its tail. It was probably almost as tall as I was, and I started to cry, but continued to walk home.
   
   Every once in a while, I'd look back and there was another dog, tongue happily hanging out of its mouth, tail wagging furiously, following me.
   
   By the time I got to my street, there were at least 15 dogs following, all wagging their tails. I was in tears! Everyone came out on their front steps to see what the problem was, and witnessed the parade of happy pooches with a small, hysterical boy leading them.
   
   It didn't help that my parents were almost rolling on the ground laughing so hard.
   
   Dogs are my greatest fear as a result, though I love them once I get to know them.

    Hey unfettered you sound like a right Pied Piper. Fifteen dogs following you? Had you wet your pants? I'm curious....

       No. I grew up in a very family oriented town. All the neighborhood dogs knew all the kids and loved the squealing happiness that occurs when puppies present themselves for petting. I'm proud to say that my pants were dry when I got home.

    This is a small thing, but the fact that it's been consistent pretty much since I got internet access makes it exceedingly stupid...and probably funny if you're not me.
    
    I routinely (several times a week) email documents and links to myself so that I can access something at home that I've been using at work or vice versa. And then, EVERY SINGLE TIME, I respond to the pop-up that tells me I have new mail by checking to see what it is.

    One time I was riding my bike and crashed into a tree, fell to the crowd holding my head screaming "My Brain!!". I thought I had like, broke it or something.
    You know, maybe I wasn't so inaccurate after all.

    My God Unfettered what an idyllic childhood! I'm picturing it now... small boy.. a line of dogs...Are you sure you don't work for Walt Disney?
    What sort of Neighbourhhod did you live in where dogs roam free? (And what's more I hope someone was following behind you and all those dogs picking up all the crap and then putting it into those lovely litle nappy sacks... and then leaving them on the sidewalk..or suspended from a tree...)
    
    In a similar situation I don't think my pants would have been dry but then I have an incontinence problem; hey; shit happens after childbirth.

    im not sure its funny or stupid, but it may sound naughty yesterday i went out to the mall, buying a new vacuum cleaner. I bought this Hitachi brand which cost about $60. I asked the seller for a check up before paying. And i asked if Hitachi include some free dusk bag for the vacuum. She said, ofcourse there are 3. I actually look inside the box, and there's only one. Shut it up... i went to the display vacuum, and i took/smuggle all other hitachi dust bag from the display eheheheh. they do not saw me doing it. I do it very good. I took about 3 extra bag from the display shelf. I open all the hitachi vacuum and take the bag inside it. I get 3 free hitachi dust bag now. Im happy
