I'm usually pretty tuned in to where people are at when I talk to them. My foot might occasionally approach my mouth, but I can usually stomp it back down on the floor pretty quick. Still, there are times when I'll say something that's just a little off from what people expect, and it seems to throw them.
A few weeks ago I was at a swing dance, and in the "thank you and chit chat" that happens after a song ends, the woman I was dancing with said, "You're wearing my very favorite cologne!"
The right thing to say would have been "Thank you!"
What I said was: "That's lucky!"
... Well it WAS! Think of all the colognes I might have been wearing!
