Long Before Auto Correct

Decades ago, back when offices were much more proper, I had the company controller come ask me what I thought about the management retreat that had been held at the newly opened Indianapolis Zoo.

Unfortunately for him he didn't quite ask me what he intended to.  And I just couldn't help myself from answering the question he did ask rather than answering the question I KNEW he was asking. 

So Claude walked up to my office, leaned against the door and said, "Rita, so how did you enjoy the Jew?"  

Instantly his face indicated that he was shocked at what his mouth had said. 

You know those moment when later you later think, "I wish I had said...."  

Well this wasn't one of those. 

Inspiration took over self control.  

So I immediately said, " I don't recall ever having a Jew, Claude". 

Maybe it's just me, but I find this one very attractive.
