Well I&#8217;ve done so one too many times. Here is one I can&#8217;t help but laugh every time I think of it. It happened a couple of weeks ago at 15 Minutes cafe located at the LaSalle College Of The Arts here in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That evening, I was having dinner and beer with my family and friends and we were seated comfortably somewhere in front of the bar counter. Fitzand was &#8216;loitering&#8217; around with my Golden Half camera, randomly firing away at people&#8217;s butts and chairs etc. No &#8230; that ain&#8217;t the funny part.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He was looking at some posters in front of the bar counter and there was a lady sitting there enjoying her drink. There was this black &amp; white poster pasted where she was sitting (refer to illustration below). As her legs were blocking the poster, Fitzand couldn&#8217;t see clearly what the poster was (it was actually a photo of a guy in jeans) and thought it was a an elephant. The grey jeans made the guy&#8217;s leg in the poster look a little bit like an elephant trunk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ndroo.com\/blog\/images\/misc3\/PhantLegs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"424\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He stood there for a while trying to look at the &#8216;elephant&#8217; and then called to to me saying &#8216;Daddy! Elephant! Elephant!&#8217;. I turned around to take a look and then very cleverly told him &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;No! No! Boy &#8230; that is not an elephant! It looks like an elephant leg eh???!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then there was a moment of silence. I turned back and saw my friends giving me the &#8216;WTF did you just say?&#8217; stare. Oh shit! Oh damn! I was trying damn hard not to burst out in laughter &#8230; in case the lady turned around and throw her mug at me. LOL!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To top it all off &#8230; the lady sitting there was ermm &#8230; &#8216;pretty well built&#8217;. She probably thought I was referring to her when I said those were elephant legs! Muwahahaha! Thank God she didn&#8217;t come charging at me. Maybe she was embarassed or already had one too many drinks and couldn&#8217;t move a muscle. Phew!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever done or said something you thought was okay but later realise that you might have started a nuclear war?
