I love the concept of Tang and using “I will not let this person stomp my tang” as a mantra when needed.
I’ve a parishioner who is a one woman tang-stomping machine. I shall use your comments and guard my tang before approaching her!

Love it, Sue! I’ll have to remember that one.

I had a ‘problem’ for years at family weddings. A younger cousin would get married and at the reception, some distantly-related older lady (and a few times, even my father) would nudge me and say, ‘You’re next, right?

That got annoying.

So, at the next funeral, I sidled up to the last person who had pulled that on me, and said, ‘You’re next, right?’

Funny how it stopped….

Wendy, when someone makes those bone-headed remarks, you can always smile demurely and say, “Oh, not having a ‘partner’ invitation made it easier, since I didn’t have to narrow my selection down from the dozens of possibilities!”

bwa ha ha!

Okay…..just posted this on another blog I follow, but this has to do with the same thing, so here again…

Yesterday, I was at a reception given by the Archbishop at Lambeth Palace, and someone asked me, ‘Aren’t you sad the invitation was only to you and not to your partner as well?’ And I said that I don’t have a partner, I’m a stand-alone unit (which is mostly true–there is a gentleman in my life, but it’s very sub-official).

She said she was sorry to hear it! EEEK. Sorry that I’ve spent my life doing interesting things, gaining an education, and working and writing and teaching for the Church? Gee, sorry I’m such a waste of blood and organs, my dear sister in Christ….

DO NOT MESS WITH MY TANG.

Of course, I met up an hour later with said sub-official gentleman, who loved the dress I had chosen:

had a lovely dinner, and got back on my train from London having had a good day and way too tired!

But why do people make such STOOPITT comments?

That “Get to Living” Dolly Parton video might do you right, too. [I LOVE that song when I'm feeling cranky!- PB]

I cannot BELIEVE that guy’s second comment! Dense, dense, dense. No tip for him. But you did the right thing, and I love this post. And sushi. Right on, PB. TANG!

It’s wrong to engage in a battle of wits or words with an unarmed man.
