I overheard a conversation today that went something like this:

Woman: I think I'm going to get my ankles reduced.

Man: What?

Woman: My ankles.  I want to make them smaller.

Man: They do that?

(Lots of nodding.  Man looked concerned.)

Man: ...your ankles look good.  I mean they look fine.

Woman: They don't.  I have excess muscle down there.  It's genetic.  Which is weird because the rest of me isn't like that, so if I get them reduced I'll look symmetrical.  I've thought about it a lot.

Man: That's amazing they can do that.  Won't it be hard to walk for a while?  Removing muscle is probably a big deal, like major surgery.  I just didn't know that was possible!

Woman: It isn't, Jared.  I was kidding.

(Tonally, Woman is pissed).

<Silence.  Lots of silence for Jared.>

I don't understand women.
