Ok, guys and dolls, tell us your biggest snafus while trying to impress a date. Mine were, in order of most to least severe:
1. On a first date, after running 2 miles on a San Diego beach, with a young lady of about 21 years, me being the same age, I sprinted the last 50 yards or so, did a front flip and landed on my back, on our beach blanket. I'd performed this particular maneuver countless times in Judo classes, and had never had any problems. On this occasion, with me trying to impress her, I ms-cued my jump, and when my back hit the blanket, I knocked the air from my lungs. The young lady said something to the effect of - "Wow! That was spectacular!" I tried valiantly to respond with; "It was nothing. i do it all the time." Of course, since there was no air in my lungs, it came out sounding like I'd just been punched very hard in the solar plexus. It was embarrassing.
2. I sat at a table across from the same girl, in the chow hall. There was a bowl at the table with hot cherry peppers in it. I picked one up and popped it into my mouth. I chewed it up and swallowed it. i wanted to show how "tough" I was. She said; "You can eat those?" I said, as my face turned red, and I began to sweat; "No problem, I eat them all the time." My mouth was burning up. I quickly reached for a glass of milk, and drank the whole thing. My error was obvious. Yep, I was embarrassed again.
3. November, snow on the ground, St. Mary's River, young lady was present, I dove in. 'Nuff said."
