ReplyDeleteQ: How do you describe a prostitute's ethical boundaries when she claims to be a feminist?
A: Blurred Lines!!!
First comment @9:18 wins it!
DeleteUnless folks involved in preparing or serving food and wearing braids or dreads are wearing what I consider adequate protective head covering, I leave the eating establishment. I cannot believe these complex styles which require time consuming arrangement receive frequent shampooing/washing. No bias, just concern about cleanliness.
ReplyDelete^^OK Boomer.
ReplyDeleteBoomer? You mean Millenials don't mind unclean hair? I saw a waitress at a restaurant stick both hands in her hair and then bring water to a table. Huh uh. Walked out. As a former server, I know you treat your hands like they are sterile - no nose wiping, no head or ear scratching, nothing. And if you handle anything other than food, plates, and flatware, you wash your hands.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh yeah, would smash that Katie Horner.
^^OK Boomer.
ReplyDelete^^Thanks, Incel.
