I went to the store today looking for one of those bug repellent candles, because the black flies have been eating me alive in my yard! Anyway, I looked around and couldn't find them anywhere, so I walked about to the girl at the register and asked, "Do you have an CITRUCEL candles?" She looked perplexed for a minute and I said, "You know, the bug repellent ones?" Then I realized what I had said and started cracking up! She was very professional about it, correcting me and saying I was looking for CitroNELLA candles, and proceeded to take me to them. But I'm still laughing about it now, and it's an hour later. Imagine what those Citrucel candles could do for us...

You crack me up Kree! What a mistake. Honestly as I started to read you post, I couldn't think what those candles were called either Citrucel candle. Makes perfect sense! Well, it'd be one good way to deal with gas!

Maybe you could market those Citrucel candles and get rich! They just might be our cure!
My mom would kill me if she knew I was telling you all this....but one time she got on the phone to order a flower bouquet and said "I'd like to order one of those FDS bouquets(sp?)." I guess the gal started laughing and my mom realized what she said and the gal said "you mean one of those FTD bouquets?" (For those of you who don't know what FDS is...."Feminine Deoderant Spray".)

Kree, that's adorable! It sounds so "normal," it took me a few seconds after reading your post to figure out what was wrong with it.
DOH.

Oh man! I bet your mom was so embarassed! LOL At least it wasn't in person though!
Now if you guys think those are bad, check this out. I will never, ever forget this. When I was in 7th grade, I had to read out loud in science class and the sentence was "something, something, organism, something, something". Well, guess what I said instead of organism? Yup - orgasm. Talk about mortified! The class just got completely silent, I was bright red, and the teacher said, "Ahem...that's organism." LMAO I just kept reading like nothing happened, but I wanted to crawl under my desk. You know, at that age, you're so self-conscious about everything anyway - this didn't help any.
