Ouch!

I'm not sure who's playing on KUOW right now, but I was listening to a woman talk about how her ability to read other women was terrible. I think I heard her use the word "semiotic" in a sentence. But whatever else she said, her comment about reading women in Seattle was spot on:

I was in Seattle recently and I saw all these hard-looking women hanging out in cafes, and they had half-shaved heads and lots of peircings and nose rings and stretched ear lobes, and I turned to my friend and said, "Wow, there are all these comely lesbians in Seattle."

My friend snorted and said, "Those aren't lesbians. Those are women who were forced to become men because the men won't."

Yeeeowch.
