I really hope he's joking...

One of my co-workers, who sits in the cubicle next to mine, was telling me about how his three year old daughter is riding a bike already. I made a joke about how she could be the next Kathy Watt, who was a gold medallist in track cycling a few years ago.

"What, you mean a lesbian? I hope not."

"Well, I was referring to her cycling ability, but if you're going to see it that way..."

"Well, you know what I mean. Women in sport and all that."

"Tim, riding a bicycle does not make you gay."

*sighs* I really hope he was joking. Mind you, that's about the general mindset of your average Australian voter, if the election results are anything to go by.

Wouldn't matter so much except he sits right _there_ and _never_ shuts up. I've already told him I found his comments offensive, next step is to talk to the manager if he keeps it up. Even if the solution means moving to the Desk of Pregnancy.
