I work in construction; I turned up at a government agency to get them to approve some works we were undertaking. One of our designers had labelled a dimension as "**** knows". The guy I was meeting picked this up.
Rest of the meeting went well.
"The lady in the picture is a keen member of the club - she rides every week, and she's certainly not just a token woman."

Surely anyone over 8 stone knows better than to be seen in cycling kit? Especially Lycra.
I thought it was pretty funny but then token in south Park amuses me too
