Why oh why?

do I say things that are inappropriate?! I have to learn how to keep my pie-hole shut. The buzzer went off earlier today and I was asked to come down to the concierge's office to pick up a parcel.

Sure, no problema. Once there I'm met by one of the concierges and a really (!) hot delivery guy. I sign the little gadget-thing and the guy hands me the parcel. It's quite big (the parcel) and I say: " Ohhh, what is it?"
Delivery guy says: "Don't you know what it is?"
I say: "No, it's for Boyfriend but I'll open it anyway."
Concierge says: "Typical of women, ha ha! What if it's something for you - a surprise?"
Me: " Hmmpf, doubt it. I've spent the last 2 weeks in Sweden so I'd better make sure it's not an inflatable doll!" (where in everything holy did that come from????!)
Concierge and Delivery guy are dead silent for 3 seconds before pissing themselves.
I take my cue and smiles and says thanks and walked quickly back up to the flat after having confirmed all stereotypical characteristics about blonde Swedes- and in less than a minute.

Why did I say something so silly and where did it come from? An inflatable doll?! Have I ever seen one (doubt it) and why did it pop into my head? I have something seriously wrong with the filtering system that's supposed to stop me from saying stuuupid things. I also realised that I do know what's in the parcel and I'd just forgotten that Boyfriend had told me.

I'm so not going to pick up any more parcels until I've learnt not to say dumbass things.

A printer - not very exciting but it's apparently a good one for printing photos which is good.
