When I reply in the affirmative, my questioner nearly always (we're going 11 for 12....and counting) gets extremely defensive.
Dude. ('cause it always is.) If you don't want to know the really answer, then DON'T ASK. BAH!!!

If you don't want to know the real answer....
Occasionally I get asked if I think I'm treated differently because I am a women.

Grants require blood, sweat, and tears....and more blood?
No, really.
At 3 am some day early last week, I was working on a draft of my latest grant. I was editing by hand at a fairly good pace (especially given the hour) when a spot on the paper made me pause.
Hmmm... I peered at the reddish pink ink smudge. I wiped at it with my forefinger, but I only smudged it worse. Another spot on my grant smeared in a similar fashion.
I turned my palm over to see if ink was on my hand (although I was marking in blue ink, not in red). That's when I realized I had a fairly nasty paper cut that was slowly but methodically dripping blood onto my grant.
Brings a whole new meeting to bleeding for your work, huh?
