Put your hand up if you're as stupid as me!

[Swellegant]

I get stock phrases mixed up frequently. I was entering the gym and the clerk said "have a nice workout," and I said "thanks, you too..." And the other day at a job interview (the one that hired me, BTW), I was leaving the recruiter and shook her hand and said "It's been nice meeting you," although I had met her on three separate previous occasions; what I meant to say was "It was nice to see you again," but that's not what came out. I don't think she noticed.

I call them Senior Moments, and classify them with those moments when you walk into a room and can't for the life of you remember why you went in there. Or when you say "I can't find my keys" and Grandmother asks, "is that them hanging from your beltloop?" It's just a matter of not concentrating on unimportant details, and nothing to worry about.

Although I've done my fair share of dumb things I have to relate what happened to me one morning when I stopped in for breakfast at perkins. I was seated by the hostess and giving a glass of water, and after giving the waitress my order needed to use the bathroom. I had left my coat in the booth so they new I hadn't left and when I came back the hostess that had just seated me a few minuets ago had cleared off the table.

The next time I went in the same hostess was there and as she was taking me to a table I asked, "Are you sure there gone?" to which she replied, "YES!"
