Once I was useing the automatic-checkout machine in one of the stored I go to when I made an interesting statement. The machine wouldn't scan properly, and the lines were to long in the 'real' checkout stations, so I said, "Curse you, and all the halflings!" A few bystanders turned around and gave me a strange look, so I decided to watch my mouth more closely! Unfortunalely, not close enough. A few days later I was at the same store, walking down a crowed aisle, when I scrathed my shoulder on the metal corner of a display stand. Once again I HAD to burst out with a quote and said,"Aagh! Still sharp!" a little louder than I meant to. A bunch of people turned around (including one of the people that heard my curse you quote a few days earlier) and gave me interesting looks. I bet I'm considered some sort of a freak that goes around testing the sharpness of display-stand corners now!
