I will tell one on myself.
I was on a date one time at a fairly nice restaurant and had ordered a Caesar salad as part of my meal. As the waiter was walking away, I said, "Oh yeah, could I get ranch dressing on that?"
The waiter looked at me like I was a talking chimp and said "Sir, Caesar salad comes with ... Caesar dressing."
I said, "Oh, uh, yeah, of course."
That girl never went out with me again, I don't know why....
I must have come by this honestly:
Once my father and cousin and I were tearing down my grandmother's old rickety deck so we could build a new one. My father was standing on the deck, which was by then only attached to the house and one post. He said, "I think this is the last post" and swung the sledgehammer. You know how Wiley E. Coyote would run off the cliff and hang there for a second, until he realized he was in mid-air and about to fall? I swear this happened. My dad seemed to hang in the air for a second as the realization that he had just knocked out the last load-bearing post settled on him. He and the deck came crashing down. After my cousin and I rushed over and made sure he was alive and all in one piece, we laughed our heads off. And my dad has a PhD. in mathematics and was a college prof. for 28 years! But common sense sometimes escapes us all ...
