They were doing a bake sale\/chocolate fundraiser and as I passed, one of the women there asked if I wanted a &#8220;chocolate vagina&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I politely replied, &#8220;No thank you,&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now, I&#8217;m a fan of feminism and I think it&#8217;s great that these women are working towards this cause, but&#8230; really?   A chocolate vagina?   Even if I wasn&#8217;t running late to a meeting, was that the phrase that would make me rush right over?    It was damn odd.   <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>After work, I headed to the pool to get in my laps.  The locker room, when I entered, was pretty much like a locker room -though  a bit messier with the presence of the high school swim team practicing.  When I got out of the pool and went back in to get changed &#8211; there was an unholy funk in the air.  The worst concentrated body oder that a human being could produce.  I nearly threw up &#8211; it was that bad.   Now, I understand as males, we sweat more than women.  And the sweat is funky.   And it makes the clothes funky.   And if I was in the air instead of the water, I wouldn&#8217;t be 100% fresh either after my workout.  But then I take a shower and take my clothes home and wash them.  It&#8217;s not rocket science, guys.   <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Finally, I went to TGI Friday&#8217;s this evening and tried to order the made-fresh lemonade to drink.   The server said that most people didn&#8217;t like it.     I pretty much had to insist that I get a chance to try it.  And, though it was strong, I liked it.   When I finished my first glass, she asked if I wanted water &#8211; apparently amazed that I finished the glass and assuming that I couldn&#8217;t handle a second glass.  I asked instead for a refill and finished that as well &#8211; mostly to prove a point.  <\/div>\n<div>I think this marks the only time when a server has actually tried to talk me out of an order. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And now it&#8217;s late and I though I&#8217;m off work tomorrow, I need to take a shower and get to sleep.  I hope that I don&#8217;t dream about anything in this entry.  <\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/6913097901389264887-6246762233722946847?l=thunderofwade.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I headed across campus to a meeting in one of the classroom buildings and as I entered I saw a table for the Liberation in Progress group.
