The most embarrassing moment for a teacher was when she was caught red handed;

for giving full marks to a student who had jotted a romantic picture story instead of solving mind boggling sums of arithmetic,

The most embarrassing moment for an acrobat was when he toppled head on from

the slender string; collapsed on the obdurate ground like a school kid having just started to learn rope walking,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a tea taster was when he certified inebriating whisky as royal tea; having a mesmerizing aroma and a delectably crackling flavor,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a baby sitter was when she dropped the infant

on the ground; envisaging it to be a piece of chocolate wrapped in soft candy paper,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a jeweler was when he added scintillating pearls to his tea; perceiving them to be crystals of sweet sugar,

 

The most embarrassing moment for an electrician was when he insipidly handed

live current wires in the hands of his customer; instead of giving them the compactly molded switch,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a zookeeper was when he opened the cage of

the ferocious lion; expecting innocuous birds to fly out in tandem,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a model was when she traversed on the ramp;

with disdainful blotches of sewage adhering stringently to her face,

The most embarrassing moment for a singer was when she sang in a tune befitting a crow; the aftermath of a sore throat; drawing squeals of condemnation from the packed audience,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a car rallyist; was when his vehicle intractably refrained to budge an inch further; no matter how hard he tried to compress the accelerator at the start of race,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a cobbler was when he stitched the lace alongwith the threadbare holes in the shoe; profoundly engrossed in viewing

the swanky cars passing by,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a photographer was when he snapped the clergymen encircling the ministers; instead of capturing the domineering demeanor of the president,

 

The most embarrassing moment for a writer was when the ink in his pen exhausted; as he started to emboss the very first page of his book,

 

And the most embarrassing moment for a person in love was when an alien girl

pecked him frantically on his cheek; boldly embraced him in front of his cherished and angry beloved .
