54. you're a bad person

Jul 2013

and I love your story. I would have had the same reaction. It reminds me of how, in the early 70s when I had hair down to my shoulders in in college in ultra-red South Carolina, I would revel in the disgusted looks of those who thought we were Satan's spawn. I was out once and a table of old farts were making that hilarious observation "well, I can't tell if they're boys or girls" (even though two of my comrades sported rather wild beards). When we got up to leave one of my friends said as he passed their table, "Next time just ask me and I'll be glad to show you whether I'm male or female."
And, we would get a multiplied reaction if our group was racially mixed. Only problem I have now at 60 is I look like a damn respectable businessman, so I have to find a way to engage in conversation to piss off a teabagger.
