Apparently you can’t die of embarrassment..

I posted this in the wrong thread. I meant to post it here.

I do a little public speaking, usually at church. The first few times I did, some absolutely bone-headed things would spontaneously blurt out of my mouth. Oh I'm really glad you can't die of embarrassment, but there were times I wished I could, lol! I had my audience in stitches a few times, and never on purpose. My deliveries have gotten a lot better with practice and now if I get a laugh it's usually intentional. Whew!

Oooo public speaking…I will and do from time to time but I’m a laugher. It’s hard for me to get through the smallest speech without getting the giggles. I’m guessing it’s nervous laughter. The worst was giving my grandmothers eulogy. My granny was the kindest most loving person. She was absolutely my best friend. When she died a piece of my soul went with her. Buuuut during her eulogy I laughed the entire time. This bizarre laugh crying situation. Finally the pastor (God bless him) took me to the side and had me breathe. I went on to speak but I just told stories of her being funny. The woman was a riot. As embarrassed as I was, I’m pretty sure she was laughing as well.

Reminds me of that Mary Tyler Moore episode. I was rolling on the floor. I hope people laugh at my funeral. Rather have them laugh than cry. Your granny would have loved it!
