Open mouth, insert foot.
It was an afternoon Physics lesson, and everyone was sitting quietly at the lab benches when I walked in. I piped up with, "Why's everyone so quiet? Someone died?"

Yes, someone had: a close relative of one of the most popular kids in the classroom.

I wasn't very popular for a while after that.

Similar thing happened at college...
girl of greek extraction walks in to the room late, full on black dress, veil, running mascara, the works. He responded to 'Fuck me, your mother died or something? Why are you wearing all stuff?' With a wimpered 'yes'.

At least in your case you could claim some kind of innocence.
