I was invited by a friend giving a talk. He wanted me to sit up front with his wife. The speech was given to approximately 2000+ people. His wife was wearing a very sheer tight gown. At the end of the talk the speaker got a standing ovation. When the wife stood up I noticed she was spotting on the back of her dress. I was wondering if I should tell her. I looked back and I noticed the women in the crowd had noticed. They also noticed I had noticed. They all looked at me as if to say, “Are you going to tell her or not?” She was so proud of her husband and having such a good time with all the well wishers I did not want to interrupt. I figured If I told her it would be too embarrassing coming from a man; so I left it alone.
