It was a state election and I voted Liberal but I was in a safe Labor seat. Still......the shame........
Ah, but you were just trying to keep Labor from getting complacent! I generally use the Greens for that very purpose, being in a disgustingly safe Labor seat ...
Nothing so noble I'm afraid, I was ticked with Don Dunstan at the time. Funny thing is I met him years later and had lunch with him at an ALP-UTLC function - I never told him my terrible secret though
I hated Bridges Of Madison County.
I am an excessive talker.
I once fell out of a dressing room (into the middle of the store) with only a pair of jeans around my ankles. Not my proudest moment.

Were you missing your underwear? Cuz THAT would be embarrassing!
had those...forgot to mention the specifics.
If I have a week to work on something (project proposal, article, anything), I will procrastinate the first five days and then work my ass off the last two days. I am the world's worst procrastinator. Sorry, gotta go biking, am working from home this week....

I was just joshin' ya....that is still really embarrassing.....even with undies.
One afternoon, a sudden shower had me arrive soaked to the office. Socks were specially wet. So I put them to dry in the microwave oven. I thought it was as potent as the one I have at home... and turned it on.
Half a minute later, smoke was coming from the oven, the socks were roast and I was embarrased as can be.
This is a true story. Some years ago I was in outside sales and I was given a lead from an acquaintance of a man that owned a store. The man's name was Bill Kirky. When I arrived at the store, I met a man with a very obvious motor affliction.
I wanted to be sure it was him so I thought I would introduce myself and ask if he was Bill Kirky. Those words did not come out of my mouth...what escaped from my lips was. Hi, I'm ______ and you must be Bill Jerky. I heard the words come out of my mouth and I wanted to crawl under the closest and lowest thing I could find.
I have never forgotten that experience and I now take the time to know what I am about to say as I never want to embarrass myself or anyone else in such a manner again.

Wow...
I think that I'm having a seizure!
Luckily, I am not you.
If I was, I would die from the embrassment of that.

That can't be true, Dag... 'cause that would be me!
If it weren't for sloth I'd have no redeeming features whatsoever.
Sloth is my middle name,
tis one way I can claim some fame;
in my town of busy lizzies
I stand out, until I'm dizzy.
