Brilliant! I am stealing this from you, it's the best use of diplomacy I've ever heard on the subject.

Workplace diplomacy was a skill I had to have and be polished when I did consulting for living.

Reminds me of a joke:

What's the best part about showering with a 16-year-old?

When her hair is wet she looks 12.

OP, I can't help much, nobody shows me pictures of their daughters. Have gotten to see some interesting photos of girlfriends and wives, but that's the joy of working the kind of jobs I used to work.

In reply to Toyman01:

I posted both of those in the hotlinking thread. Hooray! I'm useful!

I'm guessing flopping the ol' wedding tackle out would be over the line? Seriously, are they trying to show off their ability to procreate and help produce womyn? Dont care. dont have any cows to offer as dowager. Unless they are fishing for argument fodder where they can claim their daughters are dressing in the officially sanctioned clothing of the NWL (National Whore Leauge), I just don't get it.

this should promptly be followed by "Does she have any younger sisters?"

Ive had lots of wife and girlfriend pictures shown to me through the years. The advent of cell phone pics makes it easier to show off your girls new tattoo/piercing/implants. My usual response to those is "you're a lucky man". Of course the frequency has dropped since moving to an office environment.
