"A lady picked up several items at a discount store. When she finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed out for the entire store to hear, ‘PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPER SIZE." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word 'Tampax' for ‘THUMBTACKS.’ In a businesslike tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom: ‘DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?’

Re: Real life yet a bit off color
So strange that you would post this story, FBG! It's one of several highly embarrassing stories from Woman's Day magazine that I had saved in my e-mail account from 2001!
Here are the rest of the stories (I love these! ):
"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 when the door closed
behind me were screams of laughter" * Amy

**********************
"It was the day before my eighteenth birthday. I was
living at home, but my parents had gone out for the
evening, so I invited my girlfriend over for a romantic
night alone. "As we lay in bed after making love, we
heard the telephone ring downstairs. I suggested to
my girlfriend that I give her a piggyback ride to the
phone. Since we didn't want to miss the call, we
didn't have time to get dressed. When we got to the
bottom of the stairs, the lights suddenly came on and
a whole crowd of people yelled, 'SURPRISE!' My
entire family - aunts, uncles, Grandparents, cousins
and all my friends were standing there! My girlfriend
and I were frozen in a state of shock and
embarrassment for what seemed like an eternity.
"Since then, no one in my family has planned a
surprise party again." * Tim Cahill; Poughkeepsie,
