Explaining Gaydar

Cruising on a work day afternoon

So I'm sitting here at work, answering one of the many phone calls when I see this guy walk in to drop off some items to the executive secretary. Ding ding...gay-dar starts going off. Now I admit it, I can be a bit naive, but he said hi, and I at least said hi back without looking like an idiot. Waited 10 seconds before asking the secretary who he was.

She responded, "How do you know he was gay?"
"Gaydar."
"What's gaydar?"
Sigh...my eyes are rolling into the back of my head. "The ability of gay people to pick up on other gay people. Couldn't you tell?"
"He's just soft spoken."
"He's wearing good shoes, hasn't got a hair out of place, is wearing cologn and maintained eye contact for longer than 10 seconds. If that man isn't gay...neither am I."

Who was right? Well I can't be sure, but he came back down here to give me his number.
:-)
