heh. i have a weird habit of sometimes saying "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" and sometimes messing up on the gender. it always weirds out my 24 yo co-workers. but, fortunately, none of them have yet called me ma'am. instead, they are content to call me dog and, on occasion, tell me i sound like sarah palin. imma gonna take voice lessons soon. :)
