1. Story.

Have you ever made a cringe-worthy first impression?

She was joking around with some of her coworkers, who were on the other side of the room. 

She playfully extends her middle finger. At that PRECISE MOMENT her boss' father turns around and intercepts the middle finger.

I like to think that time and space slowed down while my wife watched him go through different emotions. Confusion, disbelief, denial, shock, sadness, and finally disdain. 

After the fabric of reality had stabilized, he looked away while saying "How RUDE."

This story makes me laugh every time. It's just the best. 

Did I mention that he was also a minister?

My wife accidentally flipped off her boss' father who was a minister. 

If you don't think that's funny, please go away. Leave and never come back.
