A Loaded Question

"Do these pants make me look fat?"
That's not the first time a woman has asked me that.
It's a loaded question which I don't respond to anymore.
Once that question is asked I'm right out the door.
It's a no win scenario I've often said.
If I answer "No" I'm a liar.
If I answer "Yes" I'm dead.
