We were at a birthday part at a friends house and the strangers around the table were mentioning how delicous the almonds were. Wanting to blend in and make small talk I decide to try the said tasty morsels. I scan the table and all the bowls on it. I quickly spot a bowl of 2 almonds left and they look delcious in all of their dark roasted goodness. I pick one up and pop it in my mouth. I barely have enough time to savor the flavor on my tongue with my friend looks at me with horror and gasps "Mary NO!" Having heard this many times in my life I quickly spit the almond out. Everyone stops and stares at me as humor spreads to their faces as they realize what I just put in my mouth.
"What?" I ask with concern.
She says to me, face red, "that's not an almond. That's the pit of an olive that someone spit into the discard bowl."
I wanted to die! I was so embarassed and also really grossed out! It's one thing to put a friends olive pit in your mouth its a completely different thing to put a strangers olive pit in your mouth.
Luckily, after the laughter everyeone felt bad for me and told their own equally embarassing stories.
