“It’s ma’am!”
“sorry man I apologize.”
(Puts on Aerosmith song: Dude looks like a lady.)
I made that mistake years ago when I ordered hamburgers from a squeaky voiced long haired kid at a DQ. When I got my order I said “Thank you ma’am”
Reply...”HEY, I’M A GUY!”
ME...”Oh, sorry about that.”
“It” still looked like a girl.
