Woman: “I’m looking for a girly beer. Something girls will like.”
Me: “What kind of beer do you normally drink? Light, dark, or something in the middle?”

Me: “None of our beer is sexist, madam, but let me see what I can find you.”
(She took it in good humour, and I recommended a light golden ale, which she enjoyed.)
