Three Headdesk Moments

1. While at the Sioux Chef's new restaurant -- after we found it -- and had ordered our bottle of wine, the waitress held up the bottle and explained that it was from an Indigenous Winemaker in California. "Uhm," I said, "before you go any further, our side of the bottle says, New Zealand."

2.After having my BP checked at the doctor's office, I asked if I could calibrate my BP monitor. "We don't do that." the nurse replied. "Well," I said, "The nurse practitioner said you did."

3. I got out the BP monitor device and asked the nurse, "What's the millimeter's of mercury number?" "I don't know," she said.
