Can't take me anywhere--First impressions not so good or another one for Dee Dee

[Leslie]

DH and a co-worker from Bangalore decide we should all get together and spend the day in town and shop and have lunch.  So we meet them in town and of course I am immediately outclassed by this beautiful young couple and the young lady is wearing a drop dead gorgeous red silk salwar and I'm in jeans and sneakers.  We walk a block and our lovely guest has a sandal blowout.   After some awkward moments and a handy safety pin all is well but she is so embarrassed,  but we shop around and make small talk and then go to lunch. 

Very posh restaurant in a a converted warehouse with a treacherous set of OPEN steps with a brass handrail. Going down the stairs I look down and I am worried as I wear bif*ckles and it's real trick.) After lunch I oh so carefully navigate the stairs UP.  I breathe a tiny sigh of relief and look back to see if our guest with the mended sandal has also made it.  I turn to point out the local tiles made in town and whoaaaaaaaaaaaa --BALANCE!  what the??????--GOIN' DOWN and I do a face plant on the floor.  Lovely gorgeous newly met friend reaches out and whooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaa goes down too.  I feel terrible but at least we did not tumble down the stairs.  We didn't see anything wet and in fact there were skid strips there but their must have been extra gravity or something.  Doh!  Brush ourselves off and go out to the street where we discovered both our cars ticketed. 
Good grief.  So I guess we never have to see THEM again.  ha hahaha :crazyeyes:

Aww, Leslie!  But on the other hand, your recipe for you-know-what is wonderful... Did you get a patent on that, yet? :thinik:

[Leslie]

can't patent it as it utilizes previously owned (and patented) products.  :-(

Oh my goodness Leslie!!!  What a comedy of errors...

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

LOL LOL LOL!!! I have to say I am actually at a loss for words.  I guess the upside is you didn't light anyone on fire...this time!   :apls:

I gotta say that was the best laugh I've had in too long! LOL!!!

oh, of course DH HAD to mention that!!  Great.  I am a class act.

On the bright side, though, it is a litmus test of people's personality when stuff like this happens. The whole day will probably end up a "funny now" story.  DH adds the Jerry Lewis "Lllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaady" vocals for effect.   :stupid:
