Something about mary

"I'd had a really long day at work but didn't have the heart to turn down my honey when he purred in my ear that he wanted some action. Halfway through, I totally fell asleep and immediately started dreaming about a friend of my mother's, Mary, who was giving me a pedicure and a foot massage. When my beau asked how he was doing, I answered, half asleep, 'Keep going, Mary.' He stopped immediately and demanded an explanation. I was caught in quite a predicament--either I was yelling out a woman's name during sex or I had to admit I was snoozing. I chose the latter, and he rolled over and wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the night."

"I was working at a publishing company for about a year, and the whole time, I had an enormous crush on my boss's son. He was in high school and came in every afternoon to help out. We'd always joke around and flirt, but he was SOOO young. Then my boss held a big surprise birthday party for him in our conference room, and to my wonder, the cake had a big 18 on it! I left a note on his windshield with my home phone number suggesting we fool around now that he was legal. I never heard from him but was called into my boss's office the very next morning. He told me that my position there had been eliminated and if I wanted to stay in the company, I could transfer to the Omaha office. Turns out, he had taken the car to get it washed as a gift and discovered my randy note! I declined the offer and started looking for a new job ASAP. Who knew a few words could get you into so much trouble?"
