Apparently, some of my best stunts happen when I don't even intend to be mean. I was in a meeting with fellow English teachers today, and in making a point to a female colleague I used the old metaphor that "you can't be a little pregnant". Another teacher misheard, and - beaming sincerely - asked my colleague if she was pregnant.
The rest of the participants - cruel bastards, the lot of them - immediately started in with congratulations and jokes, while the poor woman was protesting wildly. I expect this to become a running joke over the next couple of days, maybe even an exaggerated rumor if I'm lucky *rubbing hands gleefully*
