I had a doctors appointment this morning. As is my wont, I sat in the waiting room knitting my sock.
The last time I did this, a small group of more mature people, women mainly, started to talk with me about what I was doing. They were uniformly impressed.
This morning two young women sat opposite me and they started to talk about what I was doing. They could be clearly heard but obviously thought I was of an age that I would surely be deaf so they didn't moderate either their volume or their words. They discussed what I could possibly be knitting. Giggly. Neither guessed it was a sock. They decided in the end that I was knitting a Willy Warmer.
I said nothing until I was called for my appointment. At that time, I looked at the two young women and said;
'If you think that is a Willy Warmer, you are going to be very disappointed in life, but I do thank you for the compliment.'
I then hobbled off to see the Doc.
Another long stretch, but hoping to be more regular

You have made my day. I keep threatening to knit one of "those" for Jim. He always declines. It would be faster to knit than socks. I can only wonder at the young "ladies'" response.
How rude they were! I do love your answer to it though. Ah what a lot LOT of disappointment is coming to them!
Perfect come back! And hopefully, in the future, those young females will moderate themselves better.
I once was knitting two socks toe up on one circ. They were still in the state of the toe increases and a lady mentioned if this is going to be a bikini top for me, it definitely will be too small.
People also keep commenting on me crocheting, and I never can keep quiet and lecture them.
Your witty comment has way more style.
And I can only second, those two young ladies will be more careful about how loudly they will be discussing things in the future :-)
How funny !!! well done Colin, I laughed for the day with your post !!!
thanks :)
PS big hugs......just because
Bwahahahaha! I'd personally love to see the Willie that would fit in a sock-sized warmer. :)
Now that is just too funny! I suspect though that those girls may feel relief rather than disappointment. If I saw a willie that big coming at me, I would run so fast the other way I might get arrested for streaking!
LOL! what a brilliant response :-D
LOL! That's hysterical! It's too bad some people are so rude. Hopefully, that embarrassed them sufficiently so they'll be a little more careful about what they say in the future. I would have told them that it was indeed a Willy Warmer, but it was for your partner and they wouldn't likely find a straight man with that kind of equipment.
