"Grumpier Old Men"

Grumpier Old Men
I was thinking of posting something random tonight...maybe my most embarressing story perhaps? Okay... Well I suppose I can share one moment I cringed over for a long time, and I only share this because it was so long ago.
When I was in 10th grade, my English teacher gave us the opportunity for extra credit. The assignment was to bring a clip from a movie that was humorous. Well, those who know me know I am a pro and procrasinating :)  So, as I was about to leave for school the morning the Extra Credit was due I remembered I needed to grab a movie with a funny scene in it to share with the class.
I quickly scanned our movies looking for anything funny and I saw the movie "Grumpier Old Men"...I hadn't seen the movie for a few years, but I knew it was funny because my parents sure gave a good laugh during that movie.
So, I get to school and play the Gag-Reel scenes that are played during the credits at the end of the movie...Have you seen "Grumpier Old Men"?
The old Man that is so "hilarious"
Well...lets just say as I am sitting in 10th grade English watching this "funny" movie I brought... and I realize why my parents had found this movie funny and why I had not when I had seen it prior... it was pretty dirty humor and wouldn't have been something I would have understood when I first saw the movie.
So my class who had laughed at everyone else's movies is now sitting in silence as my movie clip is played and as I am sinking lower into my seat....finally my teacher kindly asks me to turn the movie off.
I was so embarresed and was made fun of in the family for a long time afterward for being so innocent...and I was a very innocent child :) No one ever said a word to me at school about bringing the movie...thats just how innocent I was.
