I'm male, but wish I was female. Recently, this provided some humor:

When I had to fill out a form that asked "M or F",
I joked that it should have been called

the "don't tempt me" part of the paperwork.

It was either cry or laugh, so I laughed.

I prefer laughter over tears too, Michelle. I'm always tempted to check both boxes and let them sort it out. On more than one occasion I have "forgotten" to check either box. :devil: I wonder if we'll ever see the day (in my lifetime) where the M and F boxes are eliminated altogether - or at least more options offered. :p

Oh I HATE having to state whether I am M or F... I always think "is this really necessary?" Most of the time, if I can get away with it, I just tick the "wrong" (or right... depending on your perspective) box on purpose.

Yes... far better to laugh than to cry :D:thumbsup:

Yes, I always hate putting M on anything. I get some e-mails from the Gap and other stores so there information is on Men's stuff. As if. I am not going to buy any of it so I do not want to receive it. The thing I have always really hated is when you have to have Mr. on some form or online thing. I always try to avoid that. It sets me off when I get a phone call and someone says Mr. to me. I quicky correct them and just give them my name. Jena

About a month ago I was signing up for an email list and the form asked for "salutation" :

I must have been tired, because I "accidentally" checked "Ms."

Hate it when that happens. :D
