I was just reminded of those awkward moments in life when you just cram your foot in your mouth. You know, those statements that make you wonder if your I.Q. has just dropped.
Allow me to explain with one such situation that happened a few weeks ago...
I was sitting in Luke's truck as he's driving us to get some grub. His coworker, Chris, is a bisexual. Don't ask me how Luke and I know about this...
We see a guy walking down the street. I recognize him as the annoying old man who was in my Arabic class last semester for about 3 weeks. Chris recognizes him as a homosexual man who attends the LGBF* meetings.
Chris spouts out, "That guy is just paranoid. He thinks everyone hates gays and Jews."
Me: "I'm guessing that means he's Jewish then."
Chris: "Yeah, he's freaking weird man. I gave a presentation on dating at the LGBF. He yelled at me afterwards. He said the presentation was too 'hetero'."
Me: "That's gay."
No. Joe, tell me that you didn't just say that. You're a moron. Somebody hand me a gun...

You said not to ask how you know he's bisexual, but I'm gonna have to anyway. Sounds like a good story.
That's gay.
That's not really a big thing Joe. I work with a BUNCH of gay people and I throw that phrase out all the time. It's kind of like on "Boondock Saints" where Willaim Defoe slaps the guy next to him in bed and blurts out "You're such a fag!"
I mean, it's just an expression and if he is out of the closet I'm almost sure he is fine with it.
P.S. I hate word verification, it always screws me up
Hahahahaha! Funny.
That was my entertainment for the evening. Jo and I are getting a kick out of your blog. BTW, sounds like something we'd say too. :)
The correct response to the 'That's gay' comment is laughter. Because it's very funny. You just have to learn to carry off those moments with panache.
joe - will you freakin post something new already!!!
