Yeah, Ok. Perhaps if I was permy it might be different, i.e. I might work for men who could get me places.Originally posted by jmo21 View PostBecause most men are stupid is the obvious answer

Start calling him "tiny" instead.Originally posted by doodab View PostThis. Start calling him "big boy" or "throbber" or something.
If he keeps talking to your breasts, next time you're in a meeting, tell him "I'm wearing a bra, please stop trying to find my nipples"Comment
