This actually happened a week or so ago
But a co-worker just reminded me of it, so I thought I would share.
I get on the elevator in the Systems/Eng. building and someone I don't recognize gets on right behind me. Since I don't recognize him I figured he was probably from the Engineering Group which is the only division I don't support. (I learned later that this was the case)
So a few moments after the door closes and we are doing the look anywhere but at the other person's face dance, he exclaims:
"Good Lord you've got small feet. How do you balance on those?"
I must admit, I was speechless. Um, I don't know... 35 years of practice. The way he spoke it was like this must have just happened. Uh, yeah, someone just chopped off some of my feet and I now need to learn to balance on them.
For those of you who don't know, I wear a size 2. And I balance quite well on them, thank you. ;-)
