« It's A Good Thing There Was An Open Bar | Main | I Bet She Heard My Burp » How Embarassing.
February 07, 2005
I was on my way to a meeting and had to make a quick stop at the store. I was thirsty and grabbed the first thing I could get my hands on - a carbonated mineral water from Sweden called Ramlosa. So I am guzzling the water and hustling to my meeting and I reach the table and stick out my hand to greet and say hello and instead of the word "Hello" leaving my mouth, the sound heard 'round the world was a great big gigantic burp. I freaking burped.
Now, I could have just pretended it never happened but who's kidding who, small Bedouin tribes in the Sahara Desert heard this burp. Their camels siezed up and for a moment the hot desert winds stopped blowing.

Hi Kris, You are priceless! That paragraph about the Bedouin Tribes is fabulous! I wish you had the time to write each day - but then you wouldn't be out "gathering" material! Kudos (I mean Lemon Drops) to you! Posted by: Kathy at February 7, 2005 04:59 PM Ha! I did the same thing at the gym last week. Gulping my water, cruising along at 18.3 mph on the stationary bike,listening to my MP3 player at a high volume. I knew I was belching, I just forgot that I couldn't hear it because I was wearing headphones. It was obviously loud enough for the two people next to me. Glad your client has a sense of humor, unlike the patrons of the YMCA. Posted by: veg4me at February 7, 2005 06:30 PM Great recovery! You couldn't have done better. =D Posted by: Babyhippo at February 8, 2005 04:39 AM Good save! Posted by: shelley at February 8, 2005 06:52 AM I am laughing so hard right now!! That was great. Posted by: sandy at February 8, 2005 10:12 AM I'd have hired you on the spot based on that one-liner. I admire a clever person who can fast talk her way out of a social faux-pas. Brava!
