These were both accidents that mortified me.



My boss and his boss were looking at the computer in my boss' office one time and I walked in. They were looking at a picture of a woman who I internally thought immediately 'very attractive'. So my boss tells me she recently had been killed in a motorcycle accident but neither of them knew her. My boss' boss (who was a woman) said how young and pretty she was. Me without thinking at all and for god knows what reason replied with "not anymore." I was not making a joke. It just came out for some reason. It landed how you might expect.



Just last week I was up in front of about 15 co-workers and my (same) boss. Someone had brought up SPAM and it's origins a d how it was gross and pink. I then said "SPAM - the other pink meat." Once again I did this innocently making a play on the pork slogan. I got laughs way above the quip and then realized what I had said. I was legit very embarrased.
