Think before you speak...                                       
                                                                                                     
                 Have you ever spoken and wished that you could                            
                           immediately take the words back...                                  
               Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did...                         
                                                                                                     
                                     FIRST TESTIMONY:                                           
                 I walked into a hair salon with my husband and                            
                            three kids in tow and asked loudly,                                 
           "How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow j *b?"                       
           I turned around and walked back out and never went back.                       
                             My husband didn't say a word...                                   
                                       he knew better. 
                                          
                                    SECOND TESTIMONY:

               
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.                   
                 I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.                        
                          After browsing for several minutes,                  
              I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen                          
                 who works at the store. He asked if he could help me.            
                       Without thinking, I looked at him and said ,                             
                       "I think I like playing with men's balls."                             
                                                                                                    
                                                THIRD TESTIMONY:                                           
                                                                                                     
                          My sister and I were at the mall and                                 
                              passed by a store that sold a                                    
                                 variety of candy and nuts.                                      
                         As we were looking at the display case,                               
             the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.                       
                      I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts"                            
                         My sister started to laugh hysterically.                               
              The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.                       
                   To this day, my sister has never let me forget.                           
                                                                                                     
                                                FOURTH TESTIMONY :                                          
                                                                                                     
                        While in line at the bank one afternoon,                               
                               my toddler decided to release                                    
                            some pent-up energy and ran amok.                                  
                             I was finally able to grab hold of                                  
                            her after receiving looks of disgust                                 
                             and annoyance from other patrons.                                  
                       I told her that if she did not start behaving                            
                            "right now" she would be punished.                                  
                      To my horror, she looked me in the eye and                              
                            said in a voice just as threatening,                                 
                            "If you don't let me go right now,                                  
                             I will tell Grandma that I saw you                                  
                           kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!"                                 
           The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.                     
                    Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.                            
                          I mustered up the last of my dignity and                               
                     walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.                           
                                    The last thing I heard as                                     
                                     the door closed behind me,                                     
                                      were screams of laughter.                                     
                                                                                                    
                                          FIFTH TESTIMONY:                                           
                                                                                                     
                Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?                      
              My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training                  
                                     and I was on him constantly                                     
                       One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch                         
                                         in between errands.                                        
                             It was very busy, with a full dining room.                             
                         While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny,                         
                         so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter,                        
                                         and she was clean.                                          
               Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while.                   
                          I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No".                         
                      I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident,                     
                            and I don't have any clean clothes with me."                             
                Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?"                  
                                          "No," he replied.                                          
                        I just KNEW that he must have had an accident,                            
                              because the smell was getting worse.                                
                                     So, I asked one more time,                                     
                                 "Danny, did you have an accident?"                                 
                           This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants,                           
                               bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled                              
                                    "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"                                    
                   While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing,                  
                             he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.                            
                                An older couple made me feel better,                                
                           thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!                          
                                                                                                    
                                    LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:    
                               

                    This one had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days                  
                         and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will,                        
                           in the future, likely think before she speaks.                           
                       What happens when you predict snow, but don't get any?                       
                                  We had a female news anchor who,                                  
                      the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,                      
                                 turned to the weatherman and asked:                                
                     "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"                    
                               Not only did HE have to leave the set,                               
                       but half the crew did too, they were laughing so hard!  

                      
                                                                                                     
                                     Now, didn't that feel good?                                     
                                                    
                                           and remember...                                          
                               we all say things we don't really mean,                              
                                     so think before you speak.

Good tip and funny.  I particularly laughed at your use of an asterisk in the word job.

Yeah, so true!! I am going to forward your posting to my daughter! Thank you!! We all say things we don't really mean, so think before you speak. It hurts us, and we do hurt somebody... I wish all of us think before say or do!
