FWD: Re: Skirting the dreaded...



(I, too, have not yet hit the big 3-0)
Not too long ago, in lieu of thanks, an elderly gent exclaimed, "Why bless your little cotton stockings!"  I thought about scandalizing him by saying that I wasn't wearing such accessories, but instead replied, "You're sure welcome!"  A colleague who overheard said that I should worry when "large" cotton stockings are mentioned!
