The young boy must learn never to ask whether a woman is pregnant unless and until you see the baby coming out.

Great point! I work with a nice, attractive young lady and never realized she was pregnant until she was at about 6 months and only because she told me. I told her I had conditioned myself to not notice.

I told her I had conditioned myself to not notice.

Only safe response for a male in today's workforce.

Last week, I had a vendor visit, young attractive female with major cleavage issues and I couldn't look her in the eye for obvious reasons. She asked me if something was wrong and I told her that I'd worked in Japan for 14 years (which is true) where eye contact was considered impolite.

It was the best I could come up with. How was I supposed to tell her the truth?

I couldn't be like the little boy who told the woman at the beach "Lady, if you're just going to drown those pups, I wouldn't mind having the one with the brown nose."
