I am a manly type of guy, nobody would think I’m female. I went to the local nursery and bought about 100.00$ worth of flowers to plant in the back yard.
The young woman behind the counter said that your wife made a good selection. ? I said that I’m not married anymore, I chose these myself (feeling proud of myself). Oh! she said, I thought you might be gay since you are so quiet and love flowers. HUH?
WOW just wow.
This is mainly light hearted mods, If the pit is better please move. That really was the first time that I ever used the :eek: ever. man.
When I was on Jeopardy, I ran a category on plants and flowers. Not only did Alex comment on it, but all my friends gave me a rash of shit after the show was aired because I knew my plants so well.
I thought not knowing any of the Ballet questions would have helped, but no such luck.
Jeez–I’d better tell all the men in the Plant Biology, Plant Pathology, and Horticulture programs here at my university that the jig is up. A bunch of those guys are totally passing for straight. Some of them are dating women, some of them are looking to date women, and some of them are even married! With children, even! But we know the real deal with them. Guys who like flowers–they’re gay. Gay, gay, gay. They might claim otherwise, they might have whole lives built on the illusion of their heterosexuality…but now they’ve been unmasked by a humble cashier. Ha!
Gee, that will be news to my husband, the father of our two children, who does all the gardening at our place. For whom I just got a huge floral arrangement for his birthday, and he was most appreciative.
You, my friend, have been the victim of a “duh” moment. Pretty presumptious of the cashier. Too bad you didn’t say, “I may be a hetero that loves flowers but you’ll always be stupid!”
Somebody better notify the gay community, fercryinoutloud. Some of them may really may be straight if they don’t like flowers! :rolleyes:
My FIL used to get so mad at me because I involved my husband (who, by the way, wanted to be involved) with my flower gardening. “I raised my son to be a fisherman, not a farmer!” he would say, with a few expletives added for emphasis.
I just bought my husband a flowering crabapple tree for Father’s Day, because he has never seen a flowering tree before.
What kinda plants you get? We just got a bunch of sedums and thyme - they’re working out really well in our low-maintenance yard. I also got a very nice dark red asiatic lily - I love lilies. So beautiful, and so tough. Just like roses. Whoda thunk that roses are hardy, low maintenance plants?
I just thought of something - I make my husband go plant and flower shopping with me, and we discuss all the plants we’d like to have in the yard. I’m not turning him gay, am I? Cause that would be, you know, disappointing.
The majority of ornamental flowering plants have reproductive organs that are both male and female. But essentially, you’re right - flowers are porn - just intended for a non-human audience (mostly insects and birds).
