Pink toe nails

Ok so here's the deal.... I am required to dress like the men in the profession I am in, I have to be able to hold my own when we (men and I ) are in the "office" and cutting it up. I must say, I can be cruel..men have such strange/harsh ways of getting at each other. I can cuss as well as any man at work, and much to my chagrin better than some (not a brag, just a fact). I can shoot fairly well, haven't shot the upper brass..while at the range and that my friends is quite an accomplishment. I can drive a Dodge Charger at 100mph, read the address of where I am going, think about what I will do when I get there, and talk on the radio, all without breaking a sweat... I love my job!!! I can convince a 6' drunk man that I will run over him if he tries to escape, I can convince a small child not to cry when they see me... I can stare down a mad screaming woman and get her handcuffed without all of her "junk" falling out of her mini shorts..which by the way is often more junk than the shorts can take, do they not own a mirror??? I have found a mascara that won't run in the 104 heat, a perfume that smells better as it ferments under my vest and.... I have the lipstick that doesn't fade..oh my gosh I am set... So when I start to feel too much like one of the guys.. or I want people to remember I am still a girl... I just tell them and myself, I have pink toe nails!!!!
