Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

Fresh from the deep end...It's Friday at 16:00. My boss has just left for the weekend and he's off all next week on holiday. Everyone (about 7 or eight people) is wishing him a good holiday, but there's something else they all know but I don't. I can sense it, but I go on regardless.
In a very informal way I say 'hey - have a good one'. Everyone sniggers and he replies with a 'Whey Heeeey'. Then heads out the door.
Once he's gone I ask what everyone else knows that I don't.
"Oh - he's going for the snip this weekend"
I'll get me coat - monkeyphuqers
