I am Straight

It's astonishing, really.

I was sitting at the lunch table one day when my future lady boss sat beside me and started a conversation. It began with the usual, "Hi, where are you from?" followed by "So, how do you find DC?" to which, in my mind, I was so tempted to reply (ala Thank You Girls) "Oh I found DC using a map, how about you?". Then she continued asking me "Where do you stay in DC?". 

When people try to do small talks with me, I would normally give them standard answers and show off my pearly white teeth to make them think that I am smiling. Anyway, going back to my lady boss, everything was going well with our conversation until she started asking the inevitable: 

"So Tristan, did you travel with your wife and kids?"

I looked at her with awe. She was so clueless. I smiled and politely said.

"I'm single."

She looked at me. Somehow, I felt that she was so puzzled that someone as gorgeous as I am is still single (pagbigyan nyo na blog ko to!) and said:

"Then I'll set you up with some of my girl friends. They're cool ladies. Who knows one of then might end up as your wife!"

This time, I looked at her straight in the eyes, smiled and said:

"Sure."

I threw up in my mouth.
