a few years ago i was hanging out at a friends house. we were all watching television and not really doing our usual joking around and acting foolish
thing. there was this girl over that wasn't part of our group and wasn't very bright. she was sweet but, so help me, she wasn't blessed with much
sense.
the ceiling fan was running on high and was sort of shaking and rocking rather quickly, as they tend to do. it began to squeak and she said, "oh my
god, look at that!"
and we all looked up and saw it and then my friend screamed, "OH MY GOD IT'S GOING TO BLOW!!! RUUUUUUUUUUN!" and he and i jumped up and dove behind
the couch.
in a panic, this girl bolted across the room and dove behind the bar area. we gave it a few minutes and went over to her and she was sobbing
hysterically because she thought she was going to die. it took us the better part of an hour to calm her down.
as far as a duh moment i've personally had...hmmm
oh ok, my mother and my friend share the same birthday. about 10 years ago they were both talking about their upcoming birthday being a friday, the
13th. i was pouring a glass of tea and i turned and said, "gee my birthday has never fallen on a friday the 13th."
then i realized that's because my birthday isn't on the 13th
i'm glad there were only 2 witnesses to that shining moment
