I'm getting up there too. It's too bad I can't compliment a women about her looks anymore, but that is where feminists have brought us. What am I supposed to say? You look especially plain tonight??
Dang.
You could compliment me all day long and I’d be glad.
:D
Was on the plane the other day, sitting in an aisle seat. A young stewardess asked if I wanted a drink. She had the bluish most captivating eyes I’d ever seen. I noticed a wedding ring also. When she delivered the drink I said to her, “You have amazing eyes.” She looked right back at me and said that was very nice of me to say that, and she goes about her job.
The guy next to me says, “Buddy, you shouldn’t be talking to the flight attendants like that, they’ll throw you off the plane.”
I said, “ Did you see her eyes?“
He says, “Of course I did they’re gorgeous.”
About a half hour later she returns with another drink for me, ( which I hadn’t ordered.) Then she proceeded to talk with me. Every chance she got she returned to talk.
I’m 69.
Stolen.
About 15 years ago when I was working, a friend of mine got called into Humanless Resources on a potential sexual harassment charge.
It seems that as he was going for lunch, he passed his secretary of 10+ years and her friend. He said "There's a pair to draw to!" as they passed.
Unbeknownst to him, his secretary had become a ardent PC nazi. She took the comment to be about her boobs and was offended (she was a bit busty).
He was stunned for 2 reasons. After 10 years working together, he thought he knew her humor. He got kidded by her better than he gave. And perhaps worst of all, Humanless Resources should be have seen a silly comment in passing for nothing more than that and told the womxn to piss off. In the end, a "letter" was put in his file explaining the incident, but without resolving.
Say this instead: “My you look competent today, very competent!” That should shut them up.
Best to say nothing.
