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?

Out of my depth...Was sitting 'round in my favorite saloon. Talking to some friends about the Great Janet Jackson Titty Incident that had happened the week before, at "te" Superbowl half time.
I allowed that it was not such a big deal. My friends hotly debated that it was a big deal..Janet's titty was obscene! The Nipple! She SHOWED HER NIPPLE!~ And it was an ADORNED NIPPLE! Oh, Mother of Jesus!
I know for a fact that these above mentioned are uptight, yuppie people, and ALL of their children had been breastfed...so a titty is obscene only when it DOESN'T have a baby attached to it? Some of my friend's children are old enough to ASK, in plain English, to be breastfed. And they are obliged. Which creeps me out entirely.
The argument progressed from there...and I sucked back a good draught of cheap bar wine, went down the wrong pipe...I started violently coughing (and peeing..i have Multiple Sclerosis and my bladder is very weak) I made really good points..but hoped they didn't notice my little "problem."
So, here I am, peeing myself, coughing,and and having an unpopular opinion(all three big no-no's in Amurrica)...and trying to make points for a woman who showed little Johnny her bare-ass nippy.
It's FUN being a statistical outlier! April
