Do you ever catch yourself talking about yourself to somebody, trying to be the best person you can be, trying to impress someone on a first date, and turning around and doing something so idiotic that it shatters that impression?
In short, have you acted cool and been shown a fool?
Well, I have! Long time ago I went out on a date and we were going to this nice restaurant. So I had worn these white pants, a simple dress button down shirt, black socks and nice leather shoes. (Now I didn't ever say I was a good dresser!) We were seated and I proceeded to tell her all the wonderful things about be (Yes Egotistical much!).
The food arrived (Italian) and we started to eat. Now I talked about the clothes because it just so happened my pants were the exact same color are the cloth napkins at the restaurant. So I had draped it over my left leg while eating, and proceeded to wipe my hands on the right leg.
I thought the meal went spectacularly, when I stood up at the end of the meal to take her chair, and there was marinara sauce all over my leg. What an impression! She laughed her head off while I felt like such a clod.
I knew then that God's sense of humor was in full working order in my life. Consequently, I have never worn white pants to a date again, and looked twice about where my napkin was.
