Greatly embarrassing myself today because I found someone's name funny.

Story

Earlier, we're having an emergency/preparedness seminar at college due to the sudden spike of school shooting/stabbing incidents in my local area. Despite the serious situation, unfortunately one of the speakers was a red cross respondent named Mario and my mind literally keeps thinking of the video game character that I couldn't help but snicker a few times; obviously few people near me shoot odd or annoyed glances.

Doesn't help that the dude genuinely looks like Super Mario and the fact he was also wearing a red cross shirt with medical gloves (no handlebar mustache unfortunately).

Honestly in retrospect it embarrasses me to hell and back and I probably made everyone think I'm a huge red flag considering the severity and context of the meeting. I'm honestly afraid to even show up for class tomorrow lol...
