Tit for tat

At a party last night I overheard somebody say "excuse me for asking but are you a guy or a girl?" Curious, I turned to look in the direction of the speaker. In response, the recipient of the question took the questioners hands and placed them on her chest, thereby settling the issue. I thought that was very clever but found myself wondering if there would have existed an equally clever response had the person of ambiguous sex been male instead. I couldn't think of one. Can you?

If the recipient of the question were a "normal" female, she would not have placed the speaker`s hand on her chest. You refer to the person as "her", but neither voice nor looking or "chest" can give a reliable hint to a person`s real sex.

Did you mean gender? I thought a person's sex was physiological and therefore the act of placing someone's hands on her chest would be a pretty clear indication of what the person in question wished to convey.

I can't, but it wouldn't be appropriate.

btw, i agree w/ sita - haven't you seen what a good dose of hormones can do to a "male"?
