You just happen to be singing the "Oompa Loompa" song to yourself when you suddenly discover that a real midget is waiting in the queue behind you.

Any others?

Not being able to spell 'what's'.

Having a poo stain on the back of your trousers, and a class of 40 students knowing about it before you do. This has never happened to me by the way, although I was paranoid that it would a few months ago when I was having some dodgy bowel probs.

During your first few weeks in Korea, foolishly asking one of your coworkers is she is married (just out of curiosity!) while at a staff dinner and seeing the entire table stop and stare at you with mouths agape.

My "friend" was jumping rope (jump roping?) in her taekwondo class in the States. After 300 turns she looked down to find her thong on the ground. The dobok was fresh from the laundry and her thong had stuck to it by the powers of static electricity and come undone by the powers of gravity.

Walking into class to teach your Korean high school students at the all-girl high school when you realize that your students are unusually quiet and quite morbid looking with some occasional snickering and whispering. For 30 minutes you think nothing of it until a gallant student quietly comes up to you and tells you that there is something funny stuck to your shoe. Toilet paper?

You wish, oh how you wish that for this time over any other time it would indeed be toilet paper!

But it's not, and the gravity of the situation you realize is far, far worse.

It's a condom.

A used one.

And it's not even yours!

Everyone stares at you in dead and befuddled silence and your Korean partner teacher gives you a subtle disapproving head shake as well as a simultaneous glare of death.

"What is that?" one student asks innocently.

Red-faced beyond repair, you run out of the classroom and you don't return for about 30 minutes. You contemplate doing a midnight run.

I hear a 65 year old, frail old man say to a friend, "You played drums very nice in church. It was good for the moment".

As a joke, I ask him "So Dr. Cook, did you throw your panties on stage and scream you wanted to have his baby".
It goes pretty quiet.

He replies, "Actually it was a funeral."


oh no.

I had to burst out laughing cause I felt so bad.

Beat this:

You are at small market, in the middle of a tiny village, with no taxi to escape, no buses, no nothing.

Negotiating a price for an expensive jade stone carving, you let everyone around you know that "Guys from the West are all liars. Don't barter with them. But I'm from Eastern Europe. You can trust me."

The old codger you would NEVER expect in a million years to know English asks you in pretty good English "where are you from?", there is a great crowd around you, and you are in no mood to entertain this guy's interest in showing off his English skills in front of his fellow villagers.

You say "Me Russia. No English good" hoping he will leave you alone to your little holiday.

Turns out, the fellow learned his English while living in Russia for 40 years.





Retired embassy worker. Ahhhhh!

I did get out of it, by the way.

What about being in A Zorb ball with a girl friend and having explosive diarrhea where it squishes out of your pants and flings around the ball drenching both of you completely.
