The great thing about shoes (and Mr. OmemeeOzzie should take note here) is that when you try them on you can't turn to your spouse and say "do these make me look fat?" Well... you could, I suppose. But my normal "compared to what?" would rule out animals (except for giraffes. It's impossible for ANY shoe to make a giraffe look fat.) and "compared to what?" is meant to infer that it's possible that if Greenpeace saw you lying on a beach it would consider towing you out to sea.
For the record, I never used the "d" word in my heading! 'Someone' took a little license here, I think...
ReplyDeleteAh but you were thinking it!
ReplyDeleteNo... It would likely have been a word that even Ms. S would not use -- in this public forum!
