The B word, huh? How mild of you. I'd probably have used a word starting with another letter.
Reminds me of when I had just turned 20 (and that was the legal age for pubbing at the time) and had gone out to a pub with a boyfriend who was 18. No handbag, just my doorkey and some money in my back pocket.
Police come in, and start asking ages of a few people, including me. I'm 20, I say. They looked doubtful, and one said "I can see he is, but you don't look it". Outraged, I drew myself up to my full height of not very much and snarled through gritted teeth "Well, I am!" They backed off hurriedly after that.
Hahaha, isnt it funny how things like that can pay off!! You were probably quite lucky they didnt take the hump! I always thought of you as the same height as me. Now that sounds like a weird thing to say doesnt it? No idea why!
My righteous indignation must have had the ring of truth about it!
Maybe because I am your equal in intellect, so must be your equal in height?? ;-)
That is exactly it!! Cor blimey, it's hard being us :0)
