| For my twenty-seventh birthday a good male friend of mine decided to pay for a plane to Italy so i could to visit him. That day I shared the wonderful details with my pleasant colleagues, mainly because I could hardly believe that I was going to a different country and I was not paying for it! But my boss, who was being his usual impulsive, sexist self, decided to ask me an uncomfortable question in front of my colleagues. Everyone already knew I had known my friend for a number of years prior to this trip. He asked, "So, did he have sex with you before he bought you the tickets?" |
