Politically Correct?

[firstsgtmike]

This thought came to mind as I posted an article today which included the following.

"Discussing a U.S. Army battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia in 1993, Boykin told one audience, "I knew my god was bigger than his. I knew that my god was a real god and his was an idol.""

My poll question is this:

If your wife asks you, "Honey, do you think this dress makes me look fat?" How do you respond?

A corrolary to that might be, "How did you respond when your ex-wife asked you the same question?"

I have spent too many years out of the Lion's maw of active duty to tell my wife she is too phat.

The ex-wife? I will tell her the truth! What have I got to lose? (Your too heavy, you still won't breed with me)

My wife actually asked me that very question one time and, since she stated she wanted honesty between us in our relationship, I told her "No, that dress does not make you look fat. It's the roll of blubber around your mid section that makes you look fat."

Yes, I did live and yes, we are still married. If she were to be my ex-wife, I'd probably tell her that she looks great, never slimmer... just so she'd go out with that outfit on... yep, I'm an ass.
