Gig line

I love to watch BH get dressed.

I'll sit on the counter and watch. You know it's interesting. Men. When they get ready. There's a lot less primping. Less fussin with the hair. No makeup. Stuff like that.

But BH does this thing where he lines everything up. The shirt buttons have to line up with the zipper and button on his pants and then the belt buckle has to be lined up too.

him: You remember what that's called?
me: Yes, the Plimsoll line.
him: What! What's a Plimsoll line?
me: You know, that line around the bottom of a boat. That line has to stay above the water line or the boat'll sink.
him: Right. No, it's called a Gig line. GIG LINE. Can you remember that?
me: Gigilo line. Gig. Got it.
him: Could you possibly find another way to remember it?
me: Sure, but what would be the fun in that?

Besides, I think Plimsoll line works better. When that line refuses to line up that ships gonna sink.

I'm just sayin.
