can i stop talking now?

Are you ever caught in a moment where you step outside of yourself and are embarrassed by what you are saying? You want to stop yourself but you've already gone too far - and by stopping now would only worsen your cause or, for that matter, your pride? It's like watching a train wreck - you can't look away and yet there is nothing you can do to stop it.

I find myself in this situation far too often than I'd like to admit.
