Jon-OH
I once met this fairy, she had butterfly like wings, and she was like 3 inches tall...
She used to do some office work around the compound...
anyway so one day she comes up to me, and she says to me, "Hey, I just had my wings cleaned and pressed, what do you think?"
And I was all like, "Looks okay to me I guess."
and she was all like "You guess? You don't know if they look okay?"
Then I was like "I really don't have any concept of if they look good, or how they're supposed to look to look 'good'."
Then she was all, "I think you just don't want to venture an opinion, because you're afraid I'm going to embarass you."
Then I was like, "That's not it at all, I just have no frame of reference, and would don't want to give you the wrong idea or something."
Then she got all teary eyed and said, "I was just trying to do something to make myself a little prettier and this is what I get from you people!" and I was all like, "Hey, I'm SORRY, I really don't know what to say, you know?"
anyway, so she quit pretty soon after that. I heard she got married, to a fae-man has a couple of... um... very little kids. Guess she's doing okay... hear he's in the furnature business, makes pretty good money I suppose....

eek Oh, that's so weird, I actually talked to her a few days ago.
I know!
No, I guess she's been trying to get a job as an executive secretary at the main Shadow Government HQ. She called the other day to ask if she could use any of us as references. I was on duty at the time so I happened to get the call. I told her sure.
I mean, she was a hard little worker... and damn did she make a good cup of coffee. I mean, it took her half an hour to lug the jars and bottles of cream and sugur up enough to pour 'em into the cup... I mean she was 3 1/2" tops, you know. But damn it was good. I mean, I don't even like coffee. It was just that good.
...
Ahh... good times.
