what's the best answer for the question, "does this make me look fat?"

[datasuspect]

that one always throws me off.

[Lautremont]

1. Yes,

but then insist you thought they meant "phat."

[ThomCat]

2. "It doesn't flatter you as much as some of your other stuff.

But it's not bad."

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. Honest, yet nice.

I like it. ;)

[ThomCat]

7. Honesty and kindness are both important.

And wrapping it in a bit of tact doesn't hurt. :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. How's the search for a hot assistant going?

Make sure you always have them bend over to pick something up as a test. :evilgrin: :P

[ThomCat]

16. I know who they are probably going to hire.

It's a beautiful, recently married woman who's a friend of our bookkeeper. The straight guys in the office will definitely appreciate her presence. I will appreciate that we know she's smart and meticulous. :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. Well darn,

I was hoping they would hire someone like this:
:o :9

[ThomCat]

22. Me too.

:9

But alas, it wasn't to be. :(

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. *sigh* maybe next time?

At least they hired someone who knows what they're doing from the sounds of it. :D


I just wanted to post the picture again, sorry. Well, not really. :evilgrin:

[NewWaveChick1981]

15. That's the best honest answer I've heard yet to that loaded question!

:applause: TC, you're a man of tact and grace in the face of a brutal question. :thumbsup:

[ThomCat]

17. Thank you.

:)

3. "No, in fact, you make those pants look good."

[peekaloo]

4. No, but it does make you look old.

*not skilled in the social graces am I*

[datasuspect]

10. guffaw

i like that one too.

[BarenakedLady]

6. "You are not fat, therefore no."

Doesn't matter if it is true or not.

[youthere]

8. I always say "absolutely"

no one believes you if you say no.

[datasuspect]

9. hee hee

[Nickster]

20. And after a few times answering like that, you never get asked the question again! n/t

[meegbear]

12. It's not the ________ that makes you look fat ...

it's the FAT that makes you look fat.

[datasuspect]

13. in situations like these

i always ask: "WWADCS?" (what would andrew dice clay say).

[Deep13]

14. "No" and then leave the room.

Wrong answers include:

Compared to what?

There's more of you to love.

I've seen fatter.

[Shakespeare]

24. That is the correct answer.

[Kashka-Kat]

18. "I don't care to hang out with the type of person who would ask such a question, goodbye."

Only being partially facetious there! Once y ou hit yer late forties some issues simply cease being relevant and I have NOOOO use for them!

The question becomes not do I look fat in these clothes-- but simply, do I feel comfortable in them! And that I can answer for myself, thank you very much....

[Blue-Jay]

19. Your best bet is faking a seizure.

Either that or just point behind her, and when she turns around, jump out the nearest window.

[Dangerously Amused]

25. Respond with mild surprise,

...as if the thought of your beloved ever looking fat in any clothes had never occurred to you:


"Well, if you're concerned about that I've heard you're supposed to wear dark colors and vertical stripes or something. I think. I dunno. Anyway you look great to me."


Then shrug innocently and smile.
