Not a problem for me. No matter the situation, I always make sure I'm wearing the appropriate t-shirt.

LONDON (Reuters) - The biggest mystery in the universe perplexing one of the world's best known scientists is -- women.
When New Scientist magazine asked "Brief History of Time" author Stephen Hawking what he thinks about most, the Cambridge University professor renowned for unravelling some of the most complex questions in modern physics answered: "Women. They are a complete mystery."
This guys not so smart!! They've been a mystery to me my whole life!! | lolz

I wonder how many women wish they could use this tactic:
Female dragonflies fake death to avoid male suitors
Female dragonflies use an extreme tactic to get rid of unwanted suitors: they drop out the sky and then pretend to be dead.
Rassim Khelifa from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, witnessed the behaviour for the first time in the moorland hawker dragonfly (Aeshna juncea). While collecting their larvae in the Swiss Alps, he watched a female crash-dive to the ground while being pursued by a male.
The female then lay motionless on her back. Her suitor soon flew away, and the female took off once the coast was clear.
�gI was surprised,�h says Khelifa, who had never previously seen this in 10 years of studying dragonflies.
Female moorland hawkers are vulnerable to harassment when they lay their eggs since, unlike some other dragonflies, they aren�ft guarded by their male mates. A single sexual encounter with another male is enough to fertilise all eggs and copulating again could damage their reproductive tract.
Khelifa found that the females often retreat to dense vegetation near ponds at this time, probably to hide.
