Your Chum TIP's Recent Adventure in BorderingonSexualHarassmentville
An actual conversation at work

Woman #1 (addressing Woman #2 with myself standing nearby): I'm having a Sex Toy party on Saturday! Some of the items (giggle) are even BATTERY-OPERATED!

Woman#2 (delighted look on her face): Oh my God! I would totally love to come!

Me (naughty-esque response immediately leaps to my lips and I fail to squelch it...to Hell with the consequences): Which is exactly why you want to attend, eh?

Woman #1 and #2 (frowning in unison)

Me: Er.

"Is it Sexual Harassment if it makes you tingle?"

The cacophany of laughter that followed must have encouraged my subsequent (see above) behavior.

Oops.
