What was the worst "why the f*** did I say that" moment?

When I was in the Navy I was a hard charger getting all my qualifications in a very timely manner. I had what's called a career development board where Command Master Chief and, maintenance officer, chief petty officer and and leading petty officer where at this board.

The maintenance officer said you are getting all your qualifications at break neck speed we're very impressed and one or two things are true either you're full of shit or you're a hot shit worker.

Without missing a beat I told him I'm full of shit sir.... Everyone broke out laughing except the MO. To which My Career Development board turned into an ass chewing on Military bearing.

Needless to say it was hilarious and I still have no idea what compelled me to answer the way I did.
