Why would anyone call me sir? I was pumping gas today, wearing my IMF cap to cover my bald head. I had on flowered pants and a neon orange t-shirt with a cartoon dog on it, for crying out loud. Plus, I’m only 5′ 5″ tall, not to mention other obvious attributes. There’s no way anyone could mistake me for a sir! It happened last year when I lost my hair too. I think hair must be more important to how people perceive another person than I realized.
Remember Julia Sweeney’s Pat character? I don’t even own any clothes like that. :)
