But you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I almost feel like I should apologize for my gender

Long ago two females told my then-girlfriend that I'd "had a scene" with them. They had made the invitation but I politely declined. To hurt my girl and me they told her it happened. Must have been convincing. She believed them and had a scene of her own before I even knew what was happening. I loved my girlfriend but it was over at that point. Men are not always the "bad guy." For every "cheating man" there is a "cheating woman", isn't there?
Now if elliemay will smack me with that damned pole maybe I can get some negative reinforcement to enhance my learning because apparently I've forgotten the lesson about getting involved in potentially incendiary topics...
