Girly man

For our first meal (and, later, our last) in Munich, we went to the Ratskeller, which we had read was touristy but very good quality nonetheless (which was true, and there also appeared to be at least as many elderly Bavarians as there were tourists in the massive Keller). Since it wasn't even noon yet, we each ordered a small beer. Gretchen said that when I ordered my beer, the waitress arched her eyebrows...having not seen the sign on the table, little did I know that a small beer was considered "lady size". Needless to say, didn't make the same mistake twice and was sure to order a half-liter the next time around.
