Unfortunate Timing: Awkward Tour Guide Moments

I was walking backwards today, as usual, cracking jokes and spinning anecdotes to some visiting families when I had a really awkward moment.  You might have suspected this if you've ever been on a campus tour, but we tour guides definitely have a practiced shpiel down.  I like to think of it as a carefully timed guideline that I improvise off of, but it’s possible to throw me off if something unexpected happens.
