What's a polite way to tell a woman her zipper is down?

I can see the forest for the trees?

1. "XYZ" is gender-neutral

But I must admit, your original suggestion is pretty *hy*sterical :-)

[JimmyJazz]

2. Find another female to tell her?

3. MrG didn't do a good enough job at my Aunt's funeral in December.

I gave a reading in front of the whole congregation, then came back to our pew. MrG leaned over and said,"Your zipper is down." I thought he meant the zipper on my cardigan sweater was down, so I zipped it back up, figuring he liked it that way. It wasn't until halfway through the burial service that I figured out (after a breeze hit me) which zipper he was talking about. ;)

5. He told you just a little late.

Dick Cavett used to tell a story about a guest who came out with his zipper down, and he had the guy turn his back on the studio audience and he turned with him and said, "One of us has his zipper down." Maybe Mr. G could have done something like that.

9. Just let your woody tell her.

10. um, i think thats rape

you should find a different way

[TXlib]

13. No, I mean by her observing that you HAVE one.

I assumed people would interpret it as her seeing that you're pitching a tent.

[RPM]

14. whew!

that's better - unfortunately, i dont think women look at men's packages as much as we look at theirs....

Worth a try!

19. I have many female acquaintances who assure me that they do.

11. just tell me in words of one syllable

Whenever guys have tried to tell me with a witty remark, it has completely soared overhead. Just tell me nicely but clearly rather than trying to be a wit. One man very nicely stopped me and said, "My wife would kill me if she knew I saw something and didn't say anything," and then he explained that my skirt was hiked up in back. (I had just come out of a gas station restroom.) Now that was a nice way to do it without causing all kinds of embarrassment. Trying to be witty in this situation is kind of mean to the woman.

and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

16. Scream in your best Jerry Lewis voice: "HAAAY LAAAAY-DEEE!"

"You're barn door's open!!"

:-)

17. Mention something about loofahs and falafels,

Oh, thats something O'lielly would say.

:evilgrin:

18. I'm sure lots of us have buttons that say things like "STOP BUSH".

Put it on conspicuously.

20. You lean in and quietly say that her zipper is down.

No need to be coy or cute really.... it's just apparel. Same with a button, a label up, hem dragging, etc.
