I found myself in a strange situation the other night, and I was just wondering what would you do if you were in the same situation. Who knows? Maybe we can discuss other strange situations and this can become a regular thing. Here's what happened -

Myself and two girlfriends went out in search of entertainment on a Wednesday night in Youngstown, Ohio - mistake number one. Two closed or dead bars later, we end up at the local gay bar in search of something to do. We figured there would at least be some fabulous dancing to be had.

The place was totally dead, save for one cross dressed bartender who looked as if an early 80's Madonna kept her day job as a linebacker, with a voice to rival Barry White. We bypassed the bar and looked for the dance floor, hung out a little while, agreed it was lame and decided to leave. Myself and one friend were at the door, the other was behind us next to the man in a dress. (I do find a distinct difference between a drag queen and a man in a dress. I firmly believe this was a man in a dress.) After an awkward pause, my lagging friend uncomfortably asked me for a feminine hygiene product. Being a chick, I always help my girls out when I can. I pulled one out of my purse, walked over and handed it to her - only to see her hand it immediately to the man in a dress, who gives her a deep Barry White "Thank you." I chuckle at the man in a dress accepting the tampon - for many, many reasons. Apparently this is our cover charge for coming in and not buying a drink.

We get to the car and my friend is horrified that I laughed in the face of a man in a dress asking for a tampon. She said I was insensitive to a drag queen's feelings. I say I laughted at a man in a dress asking for a tampon, and at my friend for finding the request so vital that she needs to ask around to find a tampon for a man in a dress who *hopefully* has no real use for it.

So - a man in a dress asks you for a tampon. What would you do?
