Cock Fighting in the Workplace

This Guy walks up to one of his employees: “Hey, you wanna grab a drink after work?”

Employee A: “Aren’t you married?”

This Guy to Employee A, with a smug look on his face: “Not if you don’t want me to be.”

I am not naïve enough to believe that everyone thinks like me – or even makes decisions like me.  However, if find that you have made a mistake and are lucky enough to get a second chance – LEARN FROM YOUR FIRST MISTAKE!
