Ah, just how many 'poles' has Ruby seen in person? Matt may be gifted, but still not in the Homes range. And there might be another reason for going "Whoa" (One guy I knew of was shaped like a wide capped mushroom, head twice the size of the shaft).

I was referencing a conversation in the TV series Coupling:

Susan: Some men were born lucky. Some men were born very lucky.
Sally: What was Patrick born?
Susan: A tripod.

Especially since later in the series, Sally has Patrick go to the bathroom with the men she's trying to dump so that they catch on to how big her "ex" is.

Well, Ruby has seen more than she wants to remember of both Jerzy and Dillon, and she's seen fragments of a porn fim. Anyway, I'm sure that she has reliable instincts.

As to Matt - we know from Ma3 that Dillon was favourably impressed the first time that he saw Matt naked (modelling for Gary's art), and Senna said some rather routine-sounding flattering things in Portuguese when they were getting it on. On the other hand, the rather petite Kiley hasn't complained about excess, and presumably underwear manufacturers want models who fill out their products without padding, not people who make the underwear look undersized and uncomfortable. So I think we can safely assume that Matt is highly adequate but not porn-star-excessive, and Ruby's instincts are indeed sound.

maybe Kiley was not "impressed" or complained about Matt's size because it was similar to Gary's?

So much for keeping her mouth shut.

Ruby I love you honey but, most men do use the stalls when there are no privacy screens. Most of the time when I use the public restroom, there is an open urinal in between men.

On a side note it looks like Amber has (so far) been fooled by Ruby's disguise.

Ruby in the last panel.

And Matt needs to have his smugness taken down a notch but that won't happen because that would upset the spidrift and we can't have that.

Now all we need is for Gary to finish "playing" with Yuki and go to the bathroom, where Matt will be horrified at the truth of who's got the bigger set of equipment.

Less surprising than you'd think. Amber has seen Dillon in drag before, probably many times, and anyway she sees him every day; she'd know his face anywhere. She's said that she's seen Ruby very little in the last few years, and what she knows of Ruby from recent experience isn't that Ruby is the type to go around in male disguise. Plus, Ruby is wearing large dark glasses and a fake beard, concealing most of her facial outline.

Ruby still scores points for fooling her own sister, mind. She'll probably never claim them, but given that one of the few ways she ever really scores over Amber is by being smarter than her, she may not be able to resist a big reveal with added gloating.

That's not quite what might break Matt's brain. After all, Matt could recoil to the position that "size isn't everything, it's what you do with it" - and to his knowledge, Gary doesn't do much with his wedding tackle. The follow-up reveal that this information is out of date is what would do the damage.

In fairness the etiquette of the men's room can be an amazingly complex procedure and at any public event there's always the one guy who botches it.

You think that Ruby won't be able to keep herself from staring and Matt will take it as this dude coming on to him.

Easy way for him to fall back into his old habits

Possible. A bit of a tacky plot device, though.

Vague speculation time; will this comic carry over a tradition from Ma3? And if so, who will kiss or drop who in strip #150?
