That made me think of a conversation (not quilting related) I had with a woman I worked with who was a bit overweight (as am I). She went to a vegetarian restaurant and the next day was raving about the food. So I asked her if she was a vegetarian.
She looked at me as if I had two heads, and said, "Do I LOOK like a vegetarian?"
I was startled by her question, so can't really take credit for a snappy comeback, but here's my reply. "I don't know. What do vegetarians look like?"
She busted up laughing and had to admit that she had no answer for that! Seems she felt her weight made it impossible for her to be a vegetarian.
