Ever since EVE asked ADAM "Does this Fig Leaf make me look fat?" man has developed selective hearing. It's a matter of survival.

If she had asked him THAT, none of us would be here. There is no such thing as a right answer to that question.

Since we're descended from hunters I think it involves concentrating on the matter at hand (stalking game) and ignoring extraneous interference (birds, tree noise, etc.).

A modern equivalent would be me watching 24 and my wife nattering in my ear about remodeling the house.

I ALWAYS answer that question truthfully..

If the dress or whatever does make her look fatter, then I ALWAYS say it does.
