Well truth be told my life uber busy/complicated with tons of stuff from school work to the fact that my cell phone gets the worst reception at my house. I feel like I’ve neglected poor old TVDeuce, and you it’s faithful readers. So I thought I might entertain you with a story that shows that this is indeed a small world and that unruly people like myself, who find the need to tell jokes to amuse others, ought to know at some point they will run into a similar situation.

PICTURE IT! It’s 1995. I’m a sophomore in High School. I’m in the middle of French Class, sitting next to some greaser, who is probably a crystal meth dealer or the guy in charge of the local Chevy service counter. Now in 6th grade, we had the choice of Spanish or French. My friend Ryan and I come up with the brilliant conclusion that while 90% of the class takes Spanish, the other 10% will take French. And that those 10% will be the hottest girls in the school. Like when Kevin Arnold met Madeline in French Class in the Wonder Years. (We later came to find out that the mind of a sixth grade boy, although highly active, is without a doubt, illogical.

Flash forward back to ‘95. I was bored that day, so I decided to amuse the lonely and loved starved boys of the class along with the unfortunate group of slightly attractive girls with a simple, old time anecdote.

Me: “Hey, what does NASA stand for?”
Class: (Dead silence, as they had already learned that I was one of those kids in French for the girls)
Me: Need Another Seven Astronauts

Apparently, I believed that this joke would be more timely than a Helen Keller joke. So while one ore two kids snicker (they will be joining me in hell by the way), the French Teacher pulls me up to the front of the class. She says that the joke is inappropriate. I tell her to relax. She tells me to wait and goes to a filing cabinet.

ADVICE: If someone ever tells you to wait and goes to a filing cabinet, you’re screwed.

She then comes back with an autographed picture of Kristy McAuliffe, the teacher that was killed about the Challenger. Turns out it was her husband’s cousin.

Crap.

I think I said sorry, but if you’ve been ever caught like that, the best thing to do is just put your head down and prepare a bear is in the room, cause your gonna get mauled.

Now somehow, by the grace of god, she just sends me back to the seat and tells me to keep my mouth shut for the rest of class.

Simple enough. Unless your me.

15 minutes later someone rings a bell in the hallway. Without thinking I immediately yell out “Dinner Time!” Which to a 15 year old boy and anyone who enjoyed Semi-Pro will find funny. That’s when I got the detention that I fully deserved.

So there you have it. A true story about a guy, who can’t keep his mouth shut.

Anyone have a story to top that?
