On a lighter note, I saw this comment, a tweet from a young gay man coming up with a clever quote for his high school year book. "Of course I dress well; I didn't spend all that time in the closet for nothing!" :roflmao:
I got a chuckle out of that. On a related note - When I met with the attorney on Monday, I explained to her that my wife couldn't understand why I was buying so many bottles of cologne. The attorney and I just looked at each other and laughed.
Love it. It's rather like Nathan Lane when asked by Letterman if he were gay. Lane's response was, "I'm over 35. I'm unmarried. I do musical comedy. You do the math."
I must have missed the how to be gay class on that bit. I can not dress well for the life of me! But I Liked the yearbook quote nonetheless!
LOL! Stereotypes, while not generalizable to an entire population, apparently exist for a reason. Or so I am told... For what it's worth, I evidently dress above average ... for an engineer. I guess that means I'd come off as a straight guy at a gay bar, and a gay guy at a professional conference. :icon_redf
Peter Egan, a well-liked writer for motorcycle and car magazines, was describing a pair of "engineers boots" that he had bought for riding his motorcycle. He said that he had never seen any engineer wearing those kind of boots, and that most engineers he knew "looked like they had been dressed by their mother." I laughed, then looked at myself in the mirror, at the oxford-cloth Gant shirt, silk repp tie, and wash&wear pants my mother had given me for Christmas. Then I laughed again, at myself, an engineer.
