The former is very true, the latter.... not so much. At least not during the reign of Henry VIII—- necklines were very low then.

This... sums it up pretty well. (Thanks Kate Beaton! You always know what to do!)

I like the one on the far left. She looks like she's going to have some fun! I'd join.

This is what geeky girls have been saying for years!!

Ugh, way harsh, Tai.

Can I ask what line of work you're in? I work service, and I'm so, so familiar with what you're talking about. When I was young and innocent I laughed it off. Now I fix them with The Stare and wait for them to realize what they said was Wrong. I don't get a lot of apologies, but the awkward silences are usually…

Those numbers always make me want to roll my eyes. Four drinks in one sitting? That's like my Tuesday night.

That's such a good way of putting it. My boyfriend keeps asking me why I have the entire series sitting on the floor on my side of the bed— "Haven't you read those all already? Like, twice?"

WOULD BONE.

Why is she holding an egg?

Don't bogart the Scotsman! Fair's fair; everyone gets a turn.

Young Stalin was my second thought!
