Ending Praise Week with a blast. Foot in Mouth Man has had 150 episodes of communication MISadventures. In the past several years that I've been writing for "himm," FIMM has stuck his foot in his mouth many a time resulting in a backhanded compliment. Here is a FIMM Classic from the early days:
Episode 11:
FIMM has finally met someone! Bonnie was carrying some heavy grocery bags when FIMM offered to help her carry them to her car. Bonnie was so impressed with FIMM's sweet nature that she agreed to go out with him. They have had three dates already this week!
FIMM wrote Bonnie an email to thank her for cooking him dinner last night. Bonnie was very insecure about her cooking and told FIMM that she really hasn't had much cooking experience. By way of apology, Bonnie admitted that she had used spaghetti sauce from a jar. FIMM wanted to show his appreciation before he called her for another date so he wrote her this email:
To: Bonnie Sweet
From: FIMM
Subject: Dinner
Hi Bonnie,
I just wanted to thank you for dinner last night. Nobody opens a jar like you do! In fact, the whole dinner was so good that I thought it was cooked by someone who knew what they were doing!

Fortunately for us, he’s had Foot in Mouth Disease for about 5yrs. :D
