So I embarassed the stuffing out of myself tonight....

Not that it's the first time or anything, but this one I won't live down.

I went out to dinner at Hibachi (spelling???--Japanese restaurant where they cook on a grill right in front of you and stuff) with my friend, her sisters and a bunch of her husband's friends. I've met a few of them briefly before and one I used to hang out with more. Well the chef who was cooking for us was absolutely hysterical! He was trying to set my friend's younger sister up with a guy who was cleaning the tables and just really had us laughing.

So he got the rice all served up and I was trying to use the chopsticks. I was doing OK but not getting enough picked up. Then I managed to shoot a few pieces at myself. But not much. My friend told me to pick up the bowl. So I did....but I lost my whole next chopstick full down the top of my totally cute but low cut shirt! (for anyone who hasn't seen my pic before, I'm not small topped at all!) I was laughing so hard I couldn't do anything but cover my face. I had major tears coming down so bad I couldn't even see how much I'd really lost!

Of course the chef could not let it go! Later in the meal when he was tossing shrimp to us to catch in our mouths, he made me cover up with my napkin! He called me out good!

Oh and it's all been caught on video for us to relive over and over again. I don't think I'm ever going to live this one down!

So how did you retrieve the chopstick and I suppose that is on video too??

Oh I didn't loose the actual chopstick, just all it's contents! I used a fork after that! I think that part might be on the video, but the chef might have been in the way a bit. I'll find out soon enough I'm sure!

I'm so sorry for your embarrassment, but OMG that's classic!

I would have just claimed it as one of my many parlor tricks!!!

haha, sounds like you had a great time though

We have that restaurant here too, but I've never been. Have wanted to go though.

Sounds like a riot!! At least you had a great time.

We need pictures!

It really sounds like you had fun, even with the food down the shirt.

Pics may have to wait till my friend gets back to Japan! But it was a lot of fun!

Was gonna post to this last nite, but me and DH were laughing so hard I couldn't type

Caught on video! How nice.
I love hibachi...so yummy!

Leighann, you just say "whoopsie! Slippy little suckers!" smile real big, tilt your head to the side & giggle.... works every time! I always do things like that! Once at work, I fell into one of the tupper ware bins that sat on the floor.... head first. I was on a rolling chair & bent forward to grab an envelope out of the container & the chair rolled out.... I hollered "whoopsie!!!" the guys I work with were laughing so hard they were crying!
