Back in college there was a co-ed group of about a dozen of us from the same dorm that became good friends and called ourselves "The Bunch" through our years there. No romance among us, just good platonic friendships.

Early in sophomore year six of us - me, another guy, and four women - were leaving the dorm together to go to a party. For some reason one of the women in the group, lets call here Sally, turned to me and the other guy, thrust her chest out at us, and asked "is my dress too low cut?"

Now, I was startled, and she was well endowed... and before my mind could react in a more discreet manner, my mouth opened up and I blurted out "They look fine to me!"

Fortunately, Sally and the other women found it hilarious, as they had pegged me as more of the shy, quiet type. Word did get around, so one of my nicknames for the rest of my college days was "Mr. Fine"... which, as nicknames go, wasn't really that bad.

DW was not part of the 'Bunch', living in another dorm, so I had to explain it to her when we first became friends when she asked "why do these women call you 'Mr. Fine'?"

Perfectly reasonable response to an obvious "tease." (What, you were expected to know the exact amount of exposure currently in vogue?) Sounds like it was a fun group.

Don't you have to have seen their bare butts first before you can recognize them? I would not want to, would you?

I was in a maternity ward looking at all the newborns behind the window, and a women (looking very pregnant) comes up to look also. She comments, "aren't they cute?". I answer, "yes, I bet you are excited to have yours!" She points to a baby behind the glass, and playfully comments "That's mine right there". My face turned 3 shades of red. She busted up laughing.

Dave Barry has a rule:

Don't mention a woman's pregnancy unless you actually see the baby coming out.

I see a lot of obviously pregnant older men running around, but I don't dare say anything.

I wonder if it has anything to do with that transgender movement?

No, just the overeating movement.

Most likely it is the soy bean movement. Soy contains phyto-estrogens. . Another reason to eat more meat.
