Worst Moments (But Oh, There Are So Many!)


She had a man with a birth defect that saw him with no legs. He was a big fellow, huge gut, so when he sat in the chair, he looked like a giant stomach with arms and a head. His ex-wife was on there as well. Don't recall why she was on there. They had an amicable divorce, were very civil, but something else happened while he was with her.

So they talked a bit, they seemed okay, but had been divorced for a while.

Sally steps before them, her arms crossed, and suddenly blurts out, "so any chance you two getting back together? There. I said it!"

They both just said no. It was the silliest thing I ever saw. Just because two people get along after a divorce doesnt mean they have to remarry and are in love with one another.

It looked like Phyllis George's old "Hey you two, how about a hug" to the rape victim and the man she wrongly accused.

Another goodie was a redneck girl who couldn't get along with her mother, total trailer trash. "She won't clean up her room" nonsense.

The mother suddenly turned to Sally and asked "how do you say dirty diaper in Japanese? -- saka pupu."

Sally sat there, shellshocked. It had nothing to do with what they were talking about. The woman was obviously just showing out with this stupid-ended joke.

Oh, then there was when she had the backwoods minister who paddled people, grown people, in his church. Would hold them down and paddle them and he finally got in trouble for it.

Sally tried talking to him. That was her first mistake. When they sought to take the man to another area, he suddenly started up they were ordering him off the show. They even played the recording back and showed it was never said.

Her mistake? Trying to talk to this person to begin with. Who did she think she was? It was embarrassing!
