Because I'm old(er) and I don't care anymore

did he let you test drive the Maseratis?

At age 14?

well maybe not you driving. but you in the passenger seat... as he did 185mph...

I can't really think of anything embarrassing, but I've done a vast array of really silly or stupid things, the majority of which involved lots of drinking before or during.

Lessee... turning down a beauty pageant contestant's invitation to sleep with her because I was afraid I'd miss something fun at the party. I was shunned by my friends for days and she told folks I was gay (I wasn't then or am now, heh).

Passed out on a golf course and woke up with snow falling on me.

At a party, a guy was asking about one of the girls he'd met that night. The music was loud, people were laughing and talking, so I was shouting to be heard above the din. Evidently I shouted, "And she's got HUGE t****!" while sitting right next to her. I had no idea she was there.

No...nothing to be embarrassed about that I can recall. I really regret little in my silly and checkered past. Just goofy stuff.

Maybe that's what scared him straight.

Keep it coming, guys! This thread is giving me lots of laughs today.

I don't have any embarrassing stories to offer. I never did anything embarrassing when I was under 21 (folds hands primly).

Or maybe it's just that I'm more than double that age and it's hard to remember what I did so long ago.

I'm nearly 42, and I remember everything with an accursed crystalline clarity. I recall things my friends who were sober have forgotten. So no excuses! Fess up!

This is one not about being embarassed but about being stupid, stupid, stupid:

When I was 16 and a senior in high school, there was this hot, hot, hot little sophomore who had this huge crush on me. She was probably the most attractive girl in school, at least to me, but I was so damn shy that I never pursued it. She was always staring at me and always trying to get my attention. I knew what she wanted but, again, I was just so danged shy.

Wish I could post one, I'm turning 17 soon and got a life-time full of funny moments.

Plus, I started this because there are a bunch of young people on here. It's fun to relate old "war stories" not only to remember how silly you were but to show the young people that the things they do now will becomes memories they'll have forever.

I once got in a sword fight with a buddy in the attic of the local Masonic temple using ceremonial blades. And then the blood started flowing, which we accidently got on the ceremonial capes we were wearing. And then one of the lodge members stopped up to get something he forgot the night before... I never got in trouble, but one of my friends (who was actually involved in the masonic thing) did, once it was found out that he'd let some of his friends in.

Yikes.

I was 16.

I went on my first real date (real=doing the driving myself).

To get to the girl's house I had to get on the interstate and go north 1 exit about 1/2 mile up.

So I'm heading over there, thinking about what might be...

...I get on the interstate...

...And accidentally go south.

The first exit south is 5 miles away, and has a very long exit ramp traffic light.

...Nothing like turning a 5-minute drive into a 25-minute drive.
