Oops, what I meant to say ...

So, I'm in ABQ and the Greeth, Dr. A., went out to have about 7 martinis each and then decided to go home and play Scattergories. While playing and trying to justify our drunken answer to such simple directives as "girl's name" "letter E" the Greeth pops up with the name Eunice Kim. I though his answer was cute and meant to be preventative just in case someone else chose Eunice as a name but without a middle name. I settled on Ella but that didn't come with a great back story. 5 commented on why he would include a middle name and the Greeth remarked that Eunice Kim was indeed, her whole name. He then launched into a drunken explanation of who Eunice Kim was and her role in his high school awkwardness. Within his explanation, we collectively ran off into the tangential sunset. Basically, Eunice Kim taught us that sometimes, we all say, inadvertently, the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Case Study One: The Greeth is in homeroom in his Concorde Massachusetts high school and trying to talk to this girl, Eunice Kim, who happens to be Filipina. A friend interrupts and the Greeth stammers about his friend and means to tell Eunice Kim that his friend is both a geek and a goof. Sadly, the Greeth tells Eunice Kim that his friend is a "gook." I'm sure that went over really well.

Case Study Two: My friend Don Reilly once accidentally said that his bookmark was a birthmark but only in front of a girl with a big strawberry birthmark on her face.

Case Study Three: Dr. A reports that in a high school biology reading, someone continually read aloud "orgasm" instead of "organism."

Does that mean that if I think "Thank You" but it comes out "Fuck You" I can be forgiven?
