Another faux pas

Well this was one of my better ones.

Am discussing a secretary with a female friend, who I will label C. Conversation goes like this. Secretary will be referred to as K and mutual male friend as H.

DPF: I feel pretty sorry for K, having to deal with this crap.

C: I haven’t met K. Is she quite good looking?

DPF: Yes, definitely.

C: Oh yes, H has mentioned her. Said she is stunning and he would love to sleep with her, as she is so attractive.

DPF: [laugh] Ha, you don’t need to be attractive for H to want to sleep with you. He’d sleep with anyone given half a chance.

[A long long pause as DPF recalls C went out with H for around a year]

DPF: Ummm, I don’t include you in that of course. Oh shit, never mind – I’ll just have another drink.
