Double fail.
#1
I recently made a horrible mistake because I misunderstood something my friend told me. He had set me up with a woman he knew from work. We had only had a couple of dates when she invited me to meet some friends of her friends who were taking her out for her birthday. I felt I should bring a present so I asked my friend for a suggestion. He said she like Firkins, but I thought he said "merkins" so I bought her a nice one. Needless to say, she was shocked when she opened it in front of her friends. In fact I did not get a chance to explain the misunderstanding because I had to flee for my safety. Women's shoes can do a lot of damage.

So to try and make it up to her I ordered her a nice oak firkin from The Country Porch and sent it with a note of apology.

Unfortunately she was a huge fan of guitarist Michael Lee Firkins, and did not even know that a "firkin" was a small wooden cask. So she just thinks I am really weird.

I wonder if she kept the merkin?

I can't tell if this is real as I don't know what any of those things are.

I didnt either. I thought it was a pair of shoes. However, a merken is a wig for the pubic area. Oh the power of Google. LOL 

It's a Fred story. Kinda equal to a Ripley's "Believe it or not!"

Wait...a woman actually went out with you Fred? Will miracles never cease.. No accounting for bad taste or is it that "bad taste is timeless"? Anyone remember that bit of graffiti in the Oregon district in Dayton from the 70s and 80s?
