"Hey Bob, can I use your pipe for leverage?"
The guys were even though they knew what I meant.

Jeez, AJ, I would have to put everything I've ever said here. I can be thinking "What a pretty girl, I'll bet all the guys like you" and accidently say "Wow, I'll bet you get lucky alot!"
Everything I say mortifies me.

yeah I know how you feel PSI.
Incidentally, the pipe is a small pipe that you put over a hex wrench or any other sort of wrench to extend the length and get better torque.

obviously...

Well if there's a hex on it that would explain the small pipe.

(I was waving the hex wrench around gesticulating as I spoke.)

I don't know what gesticulating means, but it sounds dirty.

I never reflected on what "How's it hangin'" might imply until I said it to our bishop (In LDS the equivalent of a Pastor).

Last week, one of my coworkers was calling around town to find a place we could buy a small amount of JetA (jet fuel, similar to kerosene) for a fluids susceptibility test (checking for corrosion and whatnot of a particular part when exposed to various fluids) we are doing for one of our customers. Now, as he's talking to the airfield in town he explains he only needs a small amount (like 1 gallon). The woman he's talking to asks what it is for. Now, the part we are testing happens to be an explosive (it's for the emergency slides on the Airbus). Without thinking, my coworker responds, "We're going to be suspending an explosive in the middle of it." To make a long story short, she was mortified, and they refused to have anything to do with us (because they thought we were a bunch of terrorists). We had to go to another city's airfield to buy the fuel (even after my boss went to see them and explained exactly what it was we were doing, they still wouldn't sell it to us).

This is way too obvious, the line having been used in the Charlie's Angels movie, but it slipped out of my mouth at work a few months back anyway. *Sure, just slip it into my slot.*
