Now, let me make it perfectly clear that I know sweet F-A about astrology. I know that I'm a libra, and that a libra's symbol is a tri-beam scale. That's it.
So she shows me her tattoo and it's a crab on her lower belly. I blurt out "WTF? You got crabs?". I swear to god she gave me a look that still makes me cringe. Something inbetween verge of tears, anger, and a sudden realization that alot of people are going to have the same reaction as me.
Anyway, she clarified that it was an astrology thing, but I wasn't paying much attention, I was too busy formulating my apology in my head.
Larf. You're one classy dude 4x4.
