You can get away with just about anything. Obviously I've never tried that -here-, but it works!

3. Being charming is beyond my means on DU
Just achieving coherence seems a lofty goal at times. :P

4. I look up to you
you're the one who invariably supplies the withering remark when such is sorely required.

8. Was that an ego stroke?
:P

Which reminds me, I should add that for some people there's no artifice in being charming and making others feel good about themselves. Clearly I am not numbered amongst them. :D

9. Yep, just about anything.
And if you have great legs and wear short skirts, you can get away with everything else.

11. strangely however, being charming and stroking the legs
of others, especially on the subway or in the line at the supermarket, doesn't seem to get you anything more than a slap across the face and sometimes a misdemeanor sexual assault charge...I don't get it. :shrug:
