Know Your Audience

Gym story of the day:

Scene: Group of guys chatting around a platform after we finish up training for the day. A twentysomething woman walks by and says hi to the group; to protect the innocent she will be "C".

C is a former collegiate wrestler, currently coaches HS wrestling and is getting into Olympic weightlifting a bit; she gets after things in the gym. She also wears the smallest spandex shorts in the world every time she trains. So some comments are made (as a group of guys in a gym will do on occasion) about C, her shorts and various other aspects of her anatomy. One particularly "vigorous" commenter is a fiftysomething guy who trains and coaches with us. I'm tearing up and trying to keep from laughing as I'm looking over at my friend Dave, who is becoming a little red in the face. This keep going for just long enough (and is getting fairly disturbing by this point) and then I turn to Dave and say "Isn't that your girlfriend?".

"Yup; we started dating about 3 months ago"

There is no comeback from saying something totally X-Rated about a girl who is young enough to be your daughter to her boyfriend.
