Re: What's the Dumbest Thing You've Ever Said?
Joy,
way back before Walt and I were married, I worked in a nursing home. We had a patient who was in fairly decent health, except for being elderly.
One day the nurse and I were walking down the hall and I glanced in Evelyn's room. She didn't look right, so I asked, "What's wrong with Evelyn?". The nurse looked in and said to me, "I think she's sleeping, but she sure looks dead."
So I walked over to her, thinking maybe I'd wake her up enough to get her to crawl into bed and be comfortable. But as soon as I touched her, I knew it was too late. What could I say? "Umm, excuse me, but she IS dead".
