Exit Only

Belly-Up
I’m at the Starbucks at the Tampa airport looking for some caffeine after getting up at 4am to make my crack-of-dawn flight out of Boston when two women in front of me have this exchange:Woman One: “Why don’t I get my enormous BUTT out of the way so you can get in here?"Woman Two: "You! I just spent an hour in my underwear in front of the liposuction man who said really what I needed was abdominoplasty! He took my belly-fat in his two hands like it was a Big Mac with this barely-disguised expression of disgust. I felt completely humiliated!”Woman One: “Hey, be like me, save the money. I step naked in front of the mirror and just humiliate myself!”My first thought: God I love travel. My second: In a million years you’d never catch a man running himself down like this. Most men I know pat their beer guts and give them affectionate nicknames. So what on earth is wrong with us females?
