Stoeln Kiss

The Contessa comes into my office looking flushed and excited. Shuts the door and locks it impressively (though uselessly as lock doesn't work, but don't tell her). Says, The vice-boss caught us kissing. Know immediately that she is talking of herself (naturally) and the New Man. Ask, were you kissing in the office? The Contessa says, No, of course not. There is a pause. We were in the wine closet. (There is a side discussion about what the vice-boss was doing in the wine closet.) Ask, Did she say anything? The Contessa shakes her head. Not a peep. Not one of us said anything we went into a meeting and talked about the luncheon for the board of advisors. Ask, And that was that? Yes, the Contessa says, and that was that...except for the notes. What notes? The dirty notes written by the new man to the contesa during the meeting. She asks, Is it sexual harrassment if you get turned on? Tell her that this a very anti-feminist tack to take. She says, yes she knows it very well. She strongly disapproves of herself.
