Some agents really are drinking the Kool Aid (or Crystal Light)...

"I recently held an open house for a listing I just placed on the market. It was a rainy day and I wasn’t getting much traffic so I enjoyed the refreshments as I waited. Lo and behold, a couple who previously looked at the home burst through the doors with their two small children, ready to write a contract to buy the home.

As we gathered at the table to get down to business, the wife whispered to me that I had red lipstick smudges around my lips. I was shocked because I don't wear lipstick — especially not dark red lipstick. So I got up to look in the mirror, and gasped! The raspberry Crystal Light I had enjoyed during my downtime left behind a big, red mustache. There was no hiding it. Reluctantly, I confessed: “It’s a Kool-Aid mustache.”

The couple called over their three-year-old daughter to share in the giggles — and the little girl was wearing the same Kool-Aid mustache as me!

Nevertheless, I finished writing the contract — with a big ol’ Kool-Aid Mustache grin the whole way through!"
 
They BURST through the doors ...

No doubt they felt it necessary to get their offer in before all the other bidders.

On Slate, a chick describes herself performing as a man with the drag Kings, the reverse of drag queens. And then there's a reference to a book written by a (lesbian) woman who spent a year disguised as a man, don't know if it was full time, in various situations, including monasteries and strip clubs.

Weird, very weird.
