Boy Genius

"Hey Tammy, you wanna see me do something funny?" (while taking his shirt off)
"Um, sure? But is it appropriate? Because you don't usually take your clothing off like that."
"I don't know. We have to wait and see. You will either say "D, that's not appropriate." or you'll laugh."

In the end, I laughed. He had pulled both arms into his shirt and was walking around saying "Look! I'm an armless man!"

Appropriate? The jury's out.
