In a college class long ago the word harrass somehow came up in the conversation. For reasons that escape me now, the conversation took a detour into the proper pronunciation of the word. The prof claimed the proper pronunciation would obviously be harris. I quicky replied that I always thought it looked like her ass. For about four heartbeats the silence was deafening.
Some years ago my work took me into a particular electrical supply store fairly often. The young woman behind the counter was attractive and personable but, shall we say, a bit on the pudgy side. One day I went in the store for the first time after an absense of a couple of months. I almost didn't recognize the young woman. She had dropped a LOT of weight. She looked positively svelt. I looked at her with some concern and asked, "Wow, you've lost a lot of weight. Have you been sick?" She didn't answer and the look she gave me didn't invite any further conversation. Later a colleague told me she had just gone through one of those expensive, doctor supervised weight loss programs.
My wife says I have chronic foot in mouth disease. We all bleed the same color.
