I am The Dumb, exhibit A

Recently I affirmed for myself that I am, in fact, The Dumb. Its not like I've never done dumb stuff before, but I thought I would start documenting it.  To take the sting out of it, I guess, and to make me laugh!


I signed up for the latest "Books and Brews" book club meeting but then hit a snag as the book I ordered for it never arrived.  So I thought I would attend the meeting anyway, just to listen in on the discussion and drink a beer with other adults out in public.  I made my way to the brewery on the scheduled day and time, found a table with a book club reserved sign on it, and sat down.
As people started to arrive, I thought, well, this is a different group of people than normally come, but everyone was so friendly.  And it wasn't until I had been sitting there almost an hour before I realized it was a completely different book club, reading a completely different book that I had never heard of, and at a different brewery than my group was meeting at. 
 What.
  So basically, I gatecrashed the other clubs' meeting and didn't even have anything to contribute to the conversation.  And no one there even questioned it.  But I did have a good beer.
And just to make up for my nonsense, I ordered the next book that this group is reading and signed up to legitimately attend the November meeting.
But I probably won't remind them I did that!

    1. It really was serendipitous! Maybe I need more of these happy little (dumb) accidents!

  2. Now that's a good chuckle adventure.
    Why that book didn't arrive? I'm a believer in things happening for a reason.

    1. The delivery date kept getting pushed further and further forward by the seller, until I finally just cancelled the order. ):

  3. That's hysterical! I actually just read a quote that said meeting new people is never an accident. Sounds about right in your case. Enjoy the book!!

  4. That is too funny! I'm glad it all worked out just fine and no one even noticed ( or was too kind to say so). We almost crashed a wedding once. It seems there was more than one in the big hall where we were told to go.

    1. I think I am funniest when I'm not trying to be, unfortunately (:

    2. Yes! That is how it is sometimes. Sometimes, I'm dead serious and yet it makes another laugh. I'll take it.
