Short sleeves in the winter

I really hate it when someone feels the need to comment on my wearing short sleeves on the israeli winter. It's so stupid.

"what do you think, that it's summer"?

As if 5-7 inches of more sleeve will make the difference between life and death in this "arctic tundra".

I was at Shul once and this guy says to me:

"Ah, your wearing short sleeves are you? Do you wear long sleeves in the summer?"

I said:

"I didn't realize you found my clothing preferences so compelling as to comment on them. I didn't realize you were gay."

I would never take the time to make such a comment. Never. I could care less.
