say what you mean
Talk about a conversation when what you said was not what you were thinking.
For the most part what I have to say I do mean...that's the whole point of saying it. True enough to the old phrase, people do make mistakes. When someone slips up or tries to make a joke some people just can't take 'em.
Lesson number one? Never pick on the new girl at work when she gets her panties/boxers all in a twist over some chauvenistic comment. Follow this rule ESPECIALLY if said woman's gender is called into question. All I say is "The rule of thumb around here is" and she gets in a huff about some wife beating shite about sticks being the width of a man's thumb. Now granted it's a terrible thing and I know Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but I make one comment to lighten the mood...
"Perhaps it should have been a rule of wrist?"
And one hell of a shot to the nuts! Granted I've never been kicked in the jewels by a woman before but I know for a fact women don't kick quite like that. I wasn't thinking about beating her or any woman for that manner...she was the massive butch who was stand offish from the beginning. As a MacManus I have to say that's just someone asking to be teased. So I wasn't thinking about what I said and I paid the price. Maybe I should have warned her about the raw humor you have to adapt when working in a place where you're constantly surrounded by dead fish and cows. That's a meat packing plant for all of you folks out there who need clarification. I'm getting better at catching myself for my own sake and the sake of my cock.
Another regret? I suppose that would be giving my brother a title more than he's worth: Macho Murph. Sure it slid by...just a friendly way of thanking him after he decked that "woman" and gave me some time to squirm away with my pride...but then weeks later it resurfaces. He's calling himself "Macho Murph" and writing it on sticky notes leaving them in places they'll be noticed. I wouldn't put it past him to scrawl it out in magic marker on one of his old shirts. Luckily Da wouldn't have any of it and would make him take it off.
Gotta start thinking before I speak. You never know when a sensitive lesbian with one hell of a kick is just around the corner.
