The joke was on me!

This CW article reminded me of something embarrassing that happened to me many, many years ago. At the time, I had a lawyer client who worked for a fairly large law firm where he was a senior partner. Jack was the kind of guy who liked a good joke, even ones that were let's say, "adult" oriented. One day he called me and I quickly proceeded to tell him an admittedly very funny, but still risque joke. Unfortunately, I did not know that he had on his speaker phone!  That wouldn't have been so bad but, of course, just like you'd see on a sit-com, he was surrounded by a dozen coworkers (many of them female) who each in turn proceeded to introduce him/herself with chuckles under their breath.
