pyke 0 #51 August 7, 2006 I had to join the "Yes, but I'm not" club on this one... There seems to be a strong mis-conception that I am one way, while so many other rumours/stories are out there conveying me in a negative light the other way!!! Guess you're damned if you are, and damned if you're not!!!! Oh well, if I must amuse the masses...and this is all they can conjure up to be humourous...then so be it. Now I know how Richard Hatch feels!!! Oh wait - he just went to jail...no, I mean I don't know how he feels now...'cause...well, shit nevermind!!!

jheadley 0 #52 August 7, 2006 A skydiver asked me if I was gay when I said I was not interested in hooking up with random women. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gravitational 0 #53 August 7, 2006 QuoteGuy is talking to his buddy... "I think my wife is unfaithful." "What makes you say that?" "Well, last night she said she spent the night with her sister." "OK, what's wrong with that?" Well, last night I spent the night with her sister! Classic!!! ------ Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revillusion 0 #54 August 7, 2006 Yep been asked, and no maam, am not. I was in nursing school in the 80's and there was somewhat of a stigma or assumption that men in nursing were gay. To confirm just ask Gaylord Fokker. VIRTUS JUNXIT MORS NON SEPARABIT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivermom 0 #55 August 7, 2006 No, but I recently did something and was told "it" was GAY! Singing "I Believe I Can Fly" while under canopy at 12K during a cross country jump seemed the thing to do at the time, but Walt Appel sure didn't think so. In retrospect, I can't really argue with himMrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeak 17 #57 August 7, 2006 QuoteI have and I'm not. But I'm more interested in hearing whether or not you were offended by it, and why.

skydivermom 0 #58 August 7, 2006 The thing is, no one actually HEARD me. I was insane enough to tell Walt about it...and the thing is, I have an awesome singing voice. But I guess even the best voice couldn't redeem that song. It could have been worse. I could have been singing "Wind Beneath my Wings" Then you might cut away and forget to go for silverMrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicGuy 0 #60 August 7, 2006 I've been asked, and I've been hit on under the assumption that I was gay. No, I'm not gay. As someone once puts it.. "Nah dude, he bangs pussy." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #61 August 7, 2006 QuoteNo, but I recently did something and was told "it" was GAY! I got the same reaction from my kids when we were white water rafting a few weeks ago and I started singing that Pochahontas song, "colors of the wind". They were really embarrassed...I loved it.

DownWind 0 #63 August 7, 2006 I was home for Christmas three years ago having a beer with my cousin and he busted out the "Can I ask you something?". Of course I said yes. The question, to my surprise, was "Are you gay?". I told him no and spent the next 10 minutes attempting to make him understand I was not. People are funny sometimes. I suppose being in your 30s and not having a girlfriend or wife makes you gay in his eyes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
