Monday some co-workers and I went out to lunch. I was standing by the cash register when the clerk said "Would you like a drink with that, Sir?" I replied Yes, a meduim, and whatever she is having" gesturing at the next woman in line, a co-worker I owed lunch. My co-worker calls me by my name, then I hand the clerk my credit card. After we have paid and as we are walking away the clerk says "Have a nice day, Ladies."

It was all I could do to keep from laughing right at the clerk. When I got to the pop machine I just burst out lauging...my co-workers didn't think it was as funny as I did. I mean gee the 2 minute sex change. Actually they were shocked and appaled that the mistake had been made at all. Now I know that by cutting my hair really short I take the risk of being mistaken for a guy. Heck it happens a lot. But really... once you have made the mistake...just let it go.. "Have a nice day." or "Have a nice lunch." Would have worked.
