laugh for the day

The contractor in one of my projects just called me up -- a really nice guy -- who drivesus back to the office after the site meetings.

I was surprised when he asked me what my shoe size was.

What???

Turns out he'd be ordering boots for us, for site.

So I told him that it was a size 40, thinking that was the standrad size system here in Singapore. So he asked me, so size 40 is size 6 or size 7?

I wish, man, I wanted to say.

So I laughed and said, "No, it's a size 9."

I guess I shocked him since Asian women don't usually have big feet.

But gentleman as he is, he said, "Okay, I'll order the boots for you."

There really are nice men out there.
