Badger?
I was at work today, having a perfectly civil conversation with my boss in his office, when a woman I work with barged in and told me I have hair like a badger.
I was caught too off-guard by this to come back with a witty retort; all I managed was a "Gee, thanks. I think." She tried to laugh it off, but it got all awkward for a moment before she asked my boss a question about something unrelated to what *I* was discussing with him before she bulldozed in.
How fast would I get punted in the nuts by women if I went around comparing their hair to that of small ugly creatures? "Hey there, nice innocent lady - your hair looks like an otter." *PUNT*
Even if my hair DOES look like a badger, I don't think I want people telling me so.

FWIW, badgers are kinda cute.
OK, I routinely say inappropriate things without thinking, but even I know that was absurd. What the heck, lady??
Really, looks more like a muskrat.
If I was in the meeting and she interrupted like that, I'd start singing "Muskrat Love" (and I think a muskrat could sing better than me).
How very rude to interrupt. If I didn't sing, I sure would heckle & ridicule her for days/weeks. You know me... I don't forget stuff like this.
