Not sure if there is a thread on this but I had one early this morning.
Ran into a friend I have not seen in over 8 years. Saw him at store and said " Damn you look great, looks like you lost over 100 pounds what is your secret" He responded with " get Cancer quickest way to lose weight" Talk about feeling like a big D bag. How do you appoligize for being that stupid...

Well I can't really top that.

Hmmm that's rough. But, you did say he looked great.

Mine would have to be running into a no parking sign and falling on my ass in the street while in Columbus or falling over the orange snow fence that marked the edge of the beer garden at my hometown's annual festival...in front of everyone I know.

I don't think you can.

Dr Jones,

I don't think you were stupid. I think you were ignorant of the situation, and you ole buddy probably realizes that as well.

I hope so, I felt sooo bad we were pretty good drinkin buddies so I hope he understood but I feel like crap and can not stop thinkin about it.

You couldn't have known, and worrying about it isn't going to help.

YOU didn't give him cancer. Or you did. Ass.

You were trying to pay him a compliment. Unless there was some way you could/should have known about his cancer you have no reason to beat yourself up over it. I would have just apologized and said you had no idea.

One morning a number of years ago, I had just pulled into the high school parking lot, got out of my car, opened the rear door to grab some papers that were in the back seat when I opened the door right into my head. I didn't think anything of it and proceeded to walk into the school. As I walked down the hall people were looking at me and screaming and pointing. I immediately checked my fly but it was secure so I ducked into the teacher's lounge john and looked at myself in the mirror, and I looked like someone who had escaped the guy in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I didn't even know I had cut my head open when that door hit me. I probably had traumatized several students who thought I had been assaulted in the parking lot. I got a certain amount of mileage with the blood that had dripped down on my shirt and pants by then. Since that day, I have always put everything I need to carry into the school in the front seat with me.

I think your buddy will give you a free pass.

Thanks for all of your support I talked to my wife and she said same thing ...
Thanks and Happy holidays to all on freehuddle...
