I didn't just put my foot in it, I chewed both legs off at the hip.Way back many moons ago when I was 13, I'd just started senior school and took the bus every morning.
In my naievety, all I wanted to do was impress people and make them like me and think I was "cool" so one day I was telling my friend about some alcoholic who had died after sniffing beer bottles and choking on his own vomit. Being young and stupid, I was laughing quite loudly and wondered what in all hell this girl in front of me was staring at.
It was her father.
To this day, I still blush when I think about it, but to be fair to the poor lass when I saw her one day when I was around 20, she recognised me and after much profuse apologising she said not to worry, I was young and stupid. Class lass was that one.
