Lost filter
Out neighbor asked DH how tall he is and he responded “how short are you?” She said 5’7” and then asked him if his shoe size is a 15. So they played the guessing game until he acknowledged he is 6’6” and shoe size 13. She lifted up her foot and said that she wears a 15 because her arches have fallen and she use to wear a size 9. He paused and then looked at her and said “well that is because you eat too much!” Whew, everything went dead silent in the room.
Question: Who lost their filter?

Dad did.
He burned through their social circles in 3 states before he was diagnosed. His behavior with young female servers was such that we couldn't go to restaurants. He wasn't much better with female medical professionals either.2 -
DFIL. Several females in my in-law's social circle made a point of telling me that he had grabbed them. This was at DMIL memorial service. He complimented the social director at the ALF who had organized an ice cream social, "You may not look like much, but you put on a hell of a party." Told his DS and I that we sure had some goodlooking boys for two people who weren't good looking.

I get that! I hold my breath in public, not knowing what he might say. He’s not made any more sexual innuendos, fortunately. But I expect more as the filters degenerate.
