True story from my work yesterday:
So the senior manager walks into the meeting (50 people - 35 men, 15 women) and gives a talk about inter-departmental unity and cross-sharing of information.
"If I wasn't from Toronto (from another branch office for example) and arrived here I should be able to ask you guys where a good restaurant is rather than have to find one myself. If I wanted a good brothel, I should be able to ask you guys where a good one is and not have to find one myself..."
(grumbles from a couple of the women)
"...Oh, (trying to smooth over the grumbling women)...I didn't mean to be male specific...If I wanted to know where a good brothel was in Toronto I could always ask the women in the room."
(more grumbles from more women; some guys chuckling)
" Err...that didn't come out right...what I meant was that if I was a woman, I could ask the women here where good brothels were that had men in them for women to enjoy..."
He should have moved on...backtracking and trying to make his comment politically correct was just digging a deeper hole for himself.
