Getitng Ma'amed Without Getting Glammed

When it happens, it's great! I was en homme mode (well - androgynous with makeup) and it happened once.

There was a time when I was in mid transition and was still drabbing to work, but had been on HRT for several months.

When I was on the train, the conductor came by and said "May I see your ticket, Ma'am?"

I wanted to kiss that conductor!

There is no real pattern for how a lock-up classifies TS's who get arrested. It is usually whatever policy the commanding officer chooses to implement. In some jails, even the time of day they bring you in can make a difference.

In the early days of computers (and Goddess knows, I was there), the people at IBM attempted to create a language translation program that would automatically translate English to Russian and Russian to English.

For their first test they attempted to translate the phrase "Out of sight, out of mind" to Russian.

They then took the resulting translated Russian phrase and sent it back to be translated to English.

The resulting phrase was:

"Invisible idiot"

Arent there times when we all feel like an invisible idiot. And other times wished we were.

Don't worry, it was a bit of a non-sequitur in response to a post from a person who was trying to hijack the thread.

Thankfully, the post has been apparently deleted so my non-sequitur is now a double non-sequitur.  Making it a non-non-sequitur.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

Yes Ma'am

Well Julie in my opinion I don't think girls need make up to look beautiful, you are all beautiful. To me the make up is kind of like a security blanket in ways, I think we wear make up so much because we're afraid of what people will think of us, I'm glad to hear that you didn't get any strange looks though

OMG! Just now I was out taking my dog for a walk dressed in drab. The police rolled up and wanted to arrest me as a vagrant  I explained that I'd lived in my apt. there for nearly four years. So they asked for my I.D. I told them that my I.D. was in my apt. They said "OK ma'am, but ladies shouldn't be walking around so late at night". Then they told me to stay inside because they were looking for someone. Glad I wasn't that someone

I am sorry. I am happy that something bad did not happen!

How wonderful!   

I've had a few things happen like this that were troubling or a bit scary at the time, but later I think - wow, that really shows I'm going in the right direction.

Stay safe, ma'am.

Actually I have been Ma'amed once and it was not a compliment of any kind. Female security guard used it after she had put metal detector directly between my legs.

  I thought this was one thread where we would not be treated to the prison talk.  I guess I am wrong and she can hijack anything.

[DarkLady]

Actully I deleted my post about the issue from this thread after i got the warning.

The last couple of traffic tickets that I have received,
after the cop took the information that he needed directly from my license,
even though the marker still says "M", the "F" gender box
has been checked on the ticket.

Sorry Sandy

Do two nons make a habit?

Very bad religous pun

I think I need to run away.

So there I was, leg guards, chest protecter and face mask, when a little American boy strolls out to the plate, takes a practice swing and looks at me and says "Hey, are you a boy or a girl!". I called time, pushed up my face mask and replied " I am the umpire, now shut up and hit", startled he said back "Ohhh Sorry Maam" and proceded to strike out.

This is the most hilarious thing I've read all week, I wish we still had the reputation system sometimes.
