BLOOPERS: Unfortunate word choices

I talk to a lot of people for my job and usually nothing very exciting happens I get the critical business information I need to acquire and nobody gets hurt. Some people are surprisingly oblivious to whatever organization I represent, and many are fun to talk with, and 75% of the time the interviews are smooth like butter. Racist, homophobic, and sexist comments are like gumdrops from Jesus: sweet, unexpected, and always brighten your day. However, the biggest prize of all is when someone makes an unfortunate choice of words...its a rare and special occasion, like when a room full of typing monkeys writes your job letter for you. I want to let y'all in on two of my favorites.

"I want to know how we can increase penetration with the Boy Scouts."

"The problem [at a certain Jewish non-profit] is that they have a hoarding mentality."

I just nod my head in agreement like always and keep writing in my notebook.
