Life / At Large Overheard at the Construction Site Earlier Today
Posted by Brendan Kiley on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 6:10 PM
"Does this thing make me look gay?"
"No, but that question makes you sound stupid."
Unfortunately, I didn't see the "thing" in question, since the conversation came from a second-floor window of a half-finished house.

Was it a "Village People" t-shirt? That's about as gay as you can get. Speaking of: http://funnyhub.com/content_images/4467_…

I remember this brief exchange fondly, the moreso because it was way back in the eighties:
Guy 1 [with great affection]: "You cocksucker!"
Guy 2 [in mock outrage]: "Hey, I quit that days ago!"

I'll respond to that the same way I'd respond to a woman who asks "does this make my ass look big?" - If you have to ask, then yes, it probably does.

My partner, who is a very straight man ( end of the Kinsey scale,) worked on construction sites until construction crashed in 2008. He reported his conversation with a (male ) co worker as follows.
Cow: why do you have a rainbow flag on your car?
Partner: I support rights for, and am an ally of the LGBT community.
Cow (whining): Well, Ok - they should have some rights - but I don't want gay guys to look at me and drool over me. That would be so - so - weird!
My partner (casting a glance up and down at Cow dressed in dirty sweats and having failed to wash his hair:) Don't worry, the way you dress, no gay man will ever give you a first glance - let alone a second one.
Coworker sulked - visibly - for the rest of the day.

I got tossed from a bar once, along with the asshole in this exchange:
AH: What's with those dudes holding hands? Why are they in here?
ME: Why shouldn't they be in here?
AH: It's not a fucking gay bar. There's no sign outside saying "fags welcome", is there?
ME: No, I guess not. But there's no sign saying "Assholes welcome", either, but they let YOU in.
[long pause]
AH: Hey, FUCK YOU, man! [pathetic fight ensues]
