THINK before you speak...
Here are six reasons why you
should think
before you speak -
the last one is great!
Have you ever spoken and wished
that you could
immediately take the words back...
Here are the Testimonials of a few
people who
did....
FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my
husband and
three kids in tow and asked
loudly,
"How much do you charge for a
shampoo and a
blow job?"
I turned around and walked back
out and never
went back.
My husband didn't say a word...
he knew better.
SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing
different
kinds of golf balls.
I was unhappy with the women's
type I had been
using.
After browsing for several
minutes,
I was approached by one of the
good-looking
gentlemen
who works at the store. He asked
if he could
help me.
Without thinking, I looked at him
and said,
"I think I like playing with men's
balls."
THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall
and
passed by a store that sold a
variety of candy and nuts.
As we were looking at the display
case,
the boy behind the counter asked
if we needed
any help.
I replied, "No, I'm just looking
at your
nuts."
My sister started to laugh
hysterically.
The boy grinned, and I turned
beet-red and
walked away.
To this day, my sister has never
let me
forget.
FOURTH TESTIMONY:
While in line at the bank one
afternoon,
my toddler decided to release
some pent-up energy and ran amok.
I was finally able to grab hold of
her after receiving looks of
disgust
and annoyance from other patrons.
I told her that if she did not
start behaving
"right now" she would be punished.
To my horror, she looked me in the
eye and
said in a voice just as
threatening,
"If you don't let me go right now,
I will tell Grandma that I saw you
kissing Daddy's pee-pee last
night!"
The silence was deafening after
this
enlightening exchange.
Even the tellers stopped what they
were doing.
I mustered up the last of my
dignity and
walked out of the bank with my
daughter in
tow.
The last thing I heard as
the door closed behind me,
were screams of laughter.
FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a
question too
many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of
problems
with potty training
and I was on him constantly.
One day we stopped at Taco Bell
for a quick
lunch
in between errands.
It was very busy, with a full
dining room.
While enjoying my taco, I smelled
something
funny,
so of course I checked my
seven-month-old
daughter,
and she was clean.
Then I realized that Danny had not
asked to go
potty in a while.
I asked him if he needed to go,
and he said
"No".
I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that
child has had
an accident,
and I don't have any clean clothes
with me."
Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE
you didn't
have an accident?"
"No," he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had
an accident,
because the smell was getting
worse.
So, I asked one more time,
"Danny, did you have an accident?"
This time he jumped up, yanked
down his pants,
bent over, spread his cheeks and
yelled
"SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to
death on
their tacos laughing,
he calmly pulled up his pants and
sat down.
An older couple made me feel
better,
thanking me for the best laugh
they'd ever
had!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This one had most of the state of
Michigan
laughing for 2 days
and a very embarrassed female news
anchor who
will,
in the future, likely think before
she speaks.
What happens when you predict
snow, but don't
get any?
We had a female news anchor who,
the day after it was supposed to
have snowed
and didn't,
turned to the weatherman and
asked:
"So Bob, where's that 8 inches you
promised me
last night?"
Not only did HE have to leave the
set,
but half the crew did too, they
were laughing
so hard!
Now, didn't that feel good?
Pass it on to someone you know who
needs a
laugh,
and remember...
we all say things we don't really
mean,
so think before you speak.
