So, we go to a clam bake at our friends' new condo this weekend.
I bring a good bottle of wine, so they decide to uncork it. They've got one of those big, fancy-schmancy wine bottle openers, which was unfortunately on the "re-cork" setting, so instead of opening the bottle, the cork got pushed way down into the neck.
Someone suggested pushing the cork down into the bottle since there was really no way to pull it back up at that point. So I do.
Next thing you know, red wine is spraying all over their ceiling. And of course, some ended up on their light beige carpet as well.
I have honestly never been so mortified. Thank GOD they are really good friends of ours, or else we would never have been invited back!

Holy crap! Did it get all over you and your clothes?
My friend Russ still has red wine on the carpet in his guest room from us. Oh, yeah, it was about two weeks after he moved into his hu-gungous house (that had really been built for a member of the Jags). Perfect house, perfect furnishings, big red wine stain two weeks in.
I can't believe he still talks to us. G. and I wanted to crawl under the bed and never come out.
Not that I'm glad that happened to you, but I AM glad that I'm not the only one!!!
Damn, that just sucks.
i guess that's where it'd have been kinda funny to turn the situation into one of those infomercials where they claim the product gets out ALL stains---even red wine! hee hee...
love ya!
