10 Signs You Are About to Say Something Stupid

  1.  It is the first thing that pops into your head.  Before you brain is engaged.
  2. You begin with the words, "I just have to get this out."  Meaning I will feel better afterward, too bad about you.
  3. Any words following "I know I shouldn't say this, but. . ."  Not only are you about to say something stupid, but you are admitting it is deliberate.
  4. You begin by saying,  "So that you may pray more fully. . ."  This is about GOSSIP, not prayer.
  5. Ditto for "I'm just the kind of person who speaks their mind", admitting stupidity is your preferred lifestyle.
  6. Anything following the words, "This is probably none of my business".  You are right, stop there.
  7. "If you want my opinion/advice. . ."  Wait til they ask, they probably won't.
  8. You are a lawyer/addict/politician and your lips are moving. Admittedly, there are exceptions.
  9. What follows the phrase, "I don't consider myself a racist" usually removes any doubt.
  10. Rambling more than two sentences past "I don't know what to say" will prove your were right.
