Every now and then you manage to say something completely inappropriate. Its one thing when you mean to and something else entirely when its completely accidental.
The other night I was being driven back to my Brother-in-law’s house and we were dropping one of his friends off along the way. Tehre was some discussion about the fact that this friend had missed my Nephew’s birthday party because he was in hospital and me, being the quick witted wag that I am said, “Well its not like you were dead,” inferring that it was a poor excuse.
I felt ever so funny minutes later after we’d dropped him off and it was revealed to me that he was in fact suffering from terminal cancer …
Ouch.
