workplace vignette: hooray! PARDON?!
just before 5:30pm, i was walking my boss to the elevator at the office -- he was headed home, and i was headed back downstairs to my desk to pack up. as we were about to part ways, he said, "so, any big plans for the weekend?"
"well, a shopping outing tomorrow..." i began.
"that'll be fun."
"... and then the SAG awards on sunday."
"right!" he said.
"and that means... SNACKSSSSSS!" i added, saying "snacks" in an ecstatic whisper, with a huge grin and while raising my arms over my head in victory.
my boss stopped dead in his tracks and just kind of looked at me, a little stunned.
"that means what?" he said.
"snacks," i repeated in my normal voice.
my boss burst out laughing.
"you'd better enunciate more clearly if you're going to say that to other people!"
"SNACKS! i said snacks. oh, honestly."

Okay, I'm slow here. What did he think you said?
I too am sitting here saying all kinds of rhyming words out loud.

Maybe it's a guy thing, because I think I know. But I'm not gonna be the first to say it!
Happy shopping and SAGging.
Oh. Matt is helpful with his manly perspective. Did he think you said, "sex"? Every 7 seconds.
indeed he did. :-)
Phew. After Lou guessed my guess, it'd have been really creepy if I'd been wrong!
I think it's the boss who was creepy :-|
no, no. he's great (and gay) and totally NOT creepy at all!
(and, of course, neither are you, matt! :-))
Funny that Lou and I couldn't even imagine that scenario.
