Still makes me cringe

I would, hopefully, never say this now but about 15 years ago I was with some colleagues in central London.

One female colleague, who is also a friend, was, um, not very slim.

Somehow she was explaining to the team that she used to be "a bit of a babe until the car accident".

I overheard this and found myself asking "What did you do, drive into a cake shop?".

Everyone, including me, was aghast, except for her - she thought it was funny.
