Office MalarkeyOK, so this is a case of someone overhearing me rather than the other way round...
In the office I used to work in, one day my boss came over and asked what I'd been talking about over lunch. When I asked why, she explained that our Head of Department had come out of the restroom in hysterics, and all he could say was "You'd never believe what they're talking about in there", and wouldn't say anything else.
Rewind 30 minutes: I'd been sat eating, quietly reading the paper, and the women I worked with were discussing husbands having affairs. They then got on to how much worse it would be if your husband was having an affair with another man than if it was with a woman.
Sensing an opportunity for a laugh, I joined in, pointing out that surely it was the affair that mattered rather than who it was with, it didn't matter whether it was a man or a woman. As you can probably guess, the conversation went rapidly downhill.
Cue the Head of Department, a Born Again Christian, walking in just as I asked them "So what IS your problem with anal sex?".
