Issue: Gentle honesty: Be discreet when friend is unaware of embarrassing situation/Greg Morago, Hartford Courant.

DFO: In the 8th grade, I was the third rosary bead back in a living rosary at my Catholic school. All I had to do was say the first part of the "Hail Mary," which I'd said a thousand times before and a thousand times afterward, and the congregation would repeat the rest of the prayer. I suffered a brain cramp. I couldn't remember what came after "Hail Mary, full of grace ..." No one else missed the entire rest of the way including the first graders. I hid out the rest of the day. And, to this day, will not recite something from memory in a public setting.

Question: What is your most embarrassing, public moment (that you can disclose)?
