Will you come up with the funniest gaffe this Christmas?
Examples - Dropped the Turkey on the floor,
Fell over, in the Garden, after a couple of small drinks,
Put salt in the Custard, instead of Sugar.
Sent the present to the wrong person
Thanked the wrong person!
You know what I mean?
No fakes,
Real things Please.
Go off Topic, if you wish, as long as it’s funny!
( gaffe [ɡaf]
NOUN
1. an unintentional act or remark causing embarrassment to its originator; a blunder.)
This could become a very funny thread! I didn’t wait for Christmas, however, when I sprinkled salt over a bread and butter pudding the other day instead of sugar
Does this count…
I left the giblets in the bird once & OH discovered them when he carved it, beautifully cooked & in their plastic bag. I never lived that down.
A few years ago my wife made a christmas cake and left it on the worktop overnight.
When we came down in the morning, first thing that was strange the dog didn’t greet us, it took a few mins to notice that half the cake had gone, the dog lay quiet in her bed???
Oh good grief, all those raisins and sultanas, that are said to be toxic to dogs . Many years ago, it was my daughter’s dog’s first Christmas with us, and I left out a small shop bought Christmas cake, completely overlooking the fact that it was on the worktop right next to the window seat. Which, of course, she could easily jump up on.
We looked everywhere for that cake before the truth dawned. There was absolutely no sign anywhere, no crumbs, nothing. And she didn’t even have any after effects, still racing around like the 7 month old idiot that she was
Exactly Mups. I’m amazed at how some dogs manage to survive these things. Many years ago we had little or no knowledge about all these toxins, and I often gave chocolate to our family dog as a treat, as did my mum. And I know we would have fed them leftover scraps of Christmas cake and pudding too. I don’t ever remember any of them being ill afterwards. Just lucky I guess! Or maybe they did have an upset tummy and we just put it down to overeating. I don’t recall my parents ever, ever having to take the dog to the vets, other than for their yearly jabs.
Last Christmas my wife wanted to post some cards, so she drove down to the postbox 2 miles away, when she got there she inadvertently put the cards in her pocket and posted the car keys in the postbox, she had to wait nearly 2 hours for the postman to come and open the postbox and in her flummox she forgot to post the cards
First time I ever had Christmas with my husband and two little children I cooked the small Turkey and took it to the table and my husband started to carve it . I was horrified to see a plastic bag inside the breast filled with liquid and giblets . No one had told me that the giblets were stuffed inside the breast . I thought it was like a chicken and had looked up the bum cavity seeing nothing there just washed it clean not realising there was a closed pocket over the breast . I cried and cried and we ended up eating the legs !
