I need to take a stick with me wherever I go.
well... some of us were beatin by the “ugly stick” (old joke from the 60’s)
To get them to look at you?
Some years back my wife would comment to me all the time regarding the women who were (according to my wife) constantly hitting on me. I must have been asleep at the switch, because I never saw what she claims she saw, with a couple of exceptions (but those were so blatent that a blind man could have seen it). Sadly, those incidents don’t seem to happen much these days (sadly because I enjoyed my wife being jealous). I guess age (and thinning hair) has affected things a bit.
