What is your MOST embarrassing moment of your life? Mines a little OT but farm related.
Several years ago an elderly neighbor and I were talking about gardening. He had a 2-row JD planter that he no longer used. I asked him about purchasing it. He thought a minute and said, "Well you come back next spring and we'll discuss it." (conversation was in early winter) So the following spring on a beautiful morning I drove down to his house and got out. Before I got to the door the old guy's wife stepped out on the front porch. I said, "Good morning. I came to see your husband about buying that little John Deere planter over there." I could have crawled under my truck when she said, "My husband died last night about 12 o'clock." I profusely apologized, offered condolances and slinked away. I had no idea of his passing and would never have been that heartless had I known it. I later explained to her son-in-law what had happened and about my embarassment. He just chuckled and waved it off. I bought the planter a while later at a local auction but I never see it that I don't think about "My Most Embarrassing Moment"
