Truly Tacky Story: Standing on our street corner with my Friends,

[patrice]

for our usual Sunday sign holding group. There are about 50 of us along the street there.

Over-40 Guy in a silver BMW boxter slows for the traffic light right across from me. He's got the window down and I can see he nearly FILLS his seat and he's wearing a red-white-and-blue jock's jacket. He loudly says "Lookin' Good!!" (I wear Sunday clothes for our street corner. And I do look good.) He stops for the light and I say "What?" He repeats "Looookin' Good!!" He reads my sign (which says - Valerie Plame's job WAS fighting the War on Terrorism.) He starts to yell something, but by then I'm calling back "I can see you're a real patriot Sir." I figure out that he's calling us a " . . . Bunch of loosers" so I raise my voice to be heard in traffic over him and as he drives off shouting "You're all a bunch of loosers."

Wish I said, "When was the last time anyone admired your body, Sir?"

1. I used to work for a guy who always ridiculed overweight women

Being in need of my paycheck, I never told him my thought: "They can always lose weight, you'll never grow a chin."

I may be fat but you're ugly
And I can always diet
