Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh, there are so many ways to surreptitiously measure an inseam.

Name three.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

How does one do this? I mean, how can you get your hand very near a man's crotch surreptitiously?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You just have to register what his crotch is level with. And his ankle or however low you want the pants to fall. It's not tricky like a circumference measurement.

Well, I'm veering off topic, but I said that the measuring was surreptitious. In fact, I think there are more ways for you to get your hand near a man's crotch without him thinking of inseam measurements than there are that'll have him thinking of tailoring.

But that's not really what I was suggesting.

Good point.

Can I start rumors that Allyson is copping feels of Tim, now?

Only if the rumor doesn't extend to a rumored restraining order.

Is it a "rumor" if it's actually happened before?

I've contacted my lawyer.

I think that makes them allegations.

About your inseam?

All your lawyer can give you is your inseam? That's crappy.

My lawyer gave me a check for a million dollars.
