# Just got back from Uni
but on the way back, walking down the path to my car, I came across 2 people and a dog.

The man was blind and his dog was obviously his guide dog (for it had all the gear)....I overheard the woman say this to him.....TRUE

'So, uhh, did you see the new job they posted ?'

Isn't language so cruel at times.

# he he
a teacher friend of mine once said, with reference to a home office policy that was obviously wrong-headed, "Why can't blunkett see that... " and that was as far as she got.

# One of my best friends' dad
committed suicide and afterwards I was always saying things like killing myself laughing and then regretting it big time.

Very odd how you react to tragedies like that.

# It's always the same
sad story there.........but it is always the same. As soon as summat bad happens the language ends up reflecting it no matter how much you try not to bring the topic into the conversation.

# the subconscious urge
not to say something, almost guarantees its inevitable blurting, probably at the most inopportune time

# Eloquently put
and very true

# My girlfriend once said ....
.."Why can't you just piss off?" and the funny thing was it was just after she had taken a Restraining Order out. Hahaha. No wait ... that's not really the same thing is it?

# i'm running a fun-run in april - 10 miles
and i keep telling people, "it will probably kill me", which is in poor taste considering i'm running it to raise money for leukemia charity - a friend of mine dying from it last year...

# Yes
but did you actually say that to your friend?

# not
before he died, no.

# Probably
for the best.

Good luck BTW

# A friend of mine died from cancer a couple of years ago
another friend wanted to get him a "get well soon" card but when it became clear he wasn't going to she settled for "Enjoy your trip".

The sentiment was thankfully appreciated.

# Seen that
on a petrol-driven lawnmower, deliberately misinterpreted it as indicating what you'd be able to chop with the blades.
