When I was in high school, I was quite shy around people who weren’t my friends. The high school’s wrestling coach also taught geometry. This led to a lot of wrestlers skipping class and interrupting our class to hang out and stay out of trouble. One day, seven wrestlers burst in yelling about new wrestling uniforms, and how thrilled they were. When they go over and pull out the uniforms, the whole class began to eye them suspiciously. Even without what I describe next, the suits seemed funny. I mean, it’s a snug royal blue Spandex with a top that looks like suspenders. Absolutely funny already. But the wrestlers snatched the uniforms and ran out to go change in the bathroom, and come back to display them. Which, is also quite funny because Spandex shows everything; you could notice every detail. Anyway, we reside in a town called Ocean City. It’s commonly abbreviated as “OC”. On the back of the Spandex uniform, it reads Ocean City Men in large letters. Except… they decided on the abbreviation. On the back, it says OC MEN. Which isn’t too bad, but then I pronounce it in my mind. OC MEN. Oh—semen. I almost spit out the water I was drinking. I looked around in a panic, trying to see who I could tell, because I didn’t have any friends to tell in this class. I looked at the girl sitting next to me, and I had no idea who she was and had never talked to her before. I told her what I found and we both started laughing. The whole time she thought of me as the quiet teacher’s pet who was very reserved. The first words out of my mouth were “It says oh semen.” We’ve been best friends for 7 years now.
