the kinsey scale

interesting conversation from Casino el Camino last week:

Girlfriend of Just Guns band member says to me:
"Are you a lesbian or a bisexual?" all matter-of-fact like these are my only two options.

I look at her for a few moments (we've only shaken hands up until this point) to determine whether she's serious or not, give up and ask her if she's serious, she says yes and I respond with "neither." Since it's apparently lesbian night at Casino and I had been talking to a lesbian friend moments earlier and was sporting my new short haircut and a crocheted poncho, I guess I fit the bill. She then apologizes profusely and drunkenly and says that it's not that i look like a lesbian, per se, but one can never be sure. I tell her not to worry, that I'm not offended. She then says something to the effect of "No it's like that scale, have you ever heard of it? It measures on a scale of one to six, but hardly anyone is just a one or a six. I think I'm about a 1.162 because, you know, I can appreciate women."

It was about that point when I decided it was time to check on my burger.
