The CEO of the accountancy firm I work for has a policy of getting to know the Wives of his employees in order to promote a more 'family friendly' atmosphere.
"I've
never met your Wife have I Derek," he said to me after a particularly long
meeting. "I would like to take her out tonight and get to know her."
"You
want to take my Wife out on a date?" I asked.
"For
the good of the firm," he replied with a smile - to which there was no
answer I could think of.
Janice
thought it was a little unusual but accepted the invitation with some
encouragement from me. Later, as she was preparing for her date with my Boss, I
said to her, "His name is Ramone by the way."
"That's
good to know," she responded. "With a name like that I guess he's
Black."
"Yes!
Very!" I confirmed.
Janice
looked thoughtful for a second, and then said, ...
..."Well
in that case!"
