Have you ever been with your boyfriend or girlfriend or just been on a date with someone fairly new and said something that immediately doomed the relationship?
I was just recently thinking abut a girl I met in college (long ago in the 80's
) that I dated for about three months and I said something stupid that brought our relationship to an abrupt end.
She suggested, for a change of pace, to stay at her house and watch a movie instead of going out somewhere and she wanted me to bring a couple of movies on VHS, preferably a comedy or something not too serious. When I got there, I asked her if she wanted to watch "Monty Python - The Life of Bryan" (which is a satire about people who take religion a little too seriously). She looked kind of sour and said " I heard that movie is blasphemous." to which I replied (without thinking :scowl
"Whoever told you that is an idiot." Her face became immediately much more sour and she said, "My father told me that, and I think you should leave." 30 seconds later I was heading down the road never to see her again.
I consoled myself with the idea that it was probably doomed anyway because her father was a Baptist minister and I don't think he liked the idea of his daughter being corrupted by a young heathen like me.
Let's hear your stories.

After looking in the rearview mirror, he saw that two of them are pretty much squashed and the rest had fled into the woods so, naturally he kept on driving. After about 10 seconds she said, "Aren't you going to go back and see if you can help them?" to which he replied, "Why? They're just a bunch of stupid raccoons, the whole forest is filled with them. Who's going to miss two of them?"
