Girls…Be More Careful
Sometimes you say you’ll do something–(like say “yes"to some trial Hair loss medication on a small patch of your leg in exchange for money and discover that it’s more powerful than the lady told you…and you get a hellish rash!) And it transpires that you really should have thought a bit more about it first–
Like Last Thursday. Last Thursday I had had it with my friend Barry. He was moaning, again, about how hard being a man was, and how being a woman was better because it had its perks (he held his hands to his chest as he did this, in that disgusting way that men so often do). So I flipped and said, “How hard can it be Barry? Don’t make me laugh!”
Barry said, “Go on then.”
I said, “What?”
“Be a bloke for a day if it’s so easy!” he said. “Then you’ll see.”
Stupidly I said, “Fine by me.”
The next day Barry met me in town to make sure I was suitably manly looking. I have a reasonable chest, so that was the only thing that let me down, he said. Otherwise I looked the part and could pass for a slightly feminine looking man. So off I went in to town. And pretty soon I was laughing thinking I’d been right and Barry was wrong–
Then came the first door slamming in my face, with no apology! I thought it had to be a fluke, of course, an accident, so I followed a man in to a department store and–it happened again! Another door right in my face! I was so riled that I almost stopped and shouted “I am a woman! Men, where are your manners?!”
So, as it turned out Barry was right and I was wrong. Remember that, because I shall not say it again.
