To disappoint a workmate

[reynardo]

A collegue was chatting with me yesterday about his lack of female companionship. He then looked at me and said "So could I have your sister's phone number?"

"Sister? I don't ... hang on - who are you talking about?"

"You came in one night with your sister and another person."

"You mean two people, both red-headed, one very tall with long red and blue hair and the other about my height, also with long hair?"

"Yeah, then. The one that was your height - she's your sister, isn't she?"

Gentle reader, I then had to explain to the poor guy that a) I have no sister and b) the other person I was with was my very beloved lederhosen, who was on that night wearing his full dinner suit.

My co-worker can't look me in the eye now.

At least they didn't assume he was a lesbian. This is an improvement.


I think.

Ah, the perils of long hair on men.

I hate it when I think of something 30 seconds after I post a comment...

Of course, you realize that the next course of action for lederhosen is to come in, sit on this fellow's desk, and flirt with him...

Of course, in order for this to work, he would have to have no shame.

Not that that's going to stop anyone. :)

From memory, this happens a lot to you, doesn't it?

We've had "girlfriends" and "mother and son" heaps of times, yes. I think this is the first "sisters" one.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! who was it?

Scott Vass - a newbie. Don't know if you met him.

Paul B and Alex B were there at the time and I was having so much trouble keeping a straight face.

Let's face it - your beloved is a hottie. ;-)

I'd be the last person to disagree with you, my dear.
