It's kind of like the goofy kid in the playground who's got "sticks and stones..." loaded and ready if you see what I mean.
lol stop all the kids who are saying I am going to beat you up and say, no dont
do that, I will do it to myself.. lol
I've been the subject of loads of jokes over the years... being female, Scottish and <pulls a look of disgust> GINGER, but my best advice is to just laugh along with it.
The jokes and banter are all part of colleagues and mates feeling comfortable with you :)
I agree, now that Im older, it doesn't really phase me like when I was growing up.
and of course , I wasnt witty enough as a teen, but after I was out of school
and hanging with my friends, someone bring up the term pollack and point to me
I would say, well, least I dont have a foreign object growing off my lip , oh
yeah thats your mustache :)
its all good, ive burned quite a few people.
