pansy-ass
Carl, the second-shift
manager at
Techson Medical Supply,
called me a pansy-ass
because i am always
reading books during my breaks.
"so," i asked him, "a sign
of being a macho, manly man
is to not learn and
remain ignorant?"
"that's right,"
he said.
"then you must be
the manliest
damn man around,
eh Carl?"
Carl looked around
to see if anybody
had overheard our
conversation.
when he noticed
that there were
two people
standing nearby
he smiled and said,
"hot damn skippy!"
