The final scenario regarding Friday’s trip to the ER with my boss is this…

After everyone and their grandmother asked the types of medicines I was using, I was asked another telling question, “Do you drink?”

My answer has always been a harsh, “no,” but lately I have been enjoying the fruits of my labor a lot more with some liquid medicine. Unsure as to weather a daily drink here or there would bear relevance to my status, I replied, “I do occasionally have one. I mean, I don’t drink and drink but I have lately had some, sometimes.”

Flustering away, my mother had the look, “you’re taking this that and the other thing, you drink and you lied about your height….. you’ll be fired soon.”
