Rumour and heresy
I was working at an Electronics Co. and after several years had naturally gotten to know the senior partners quite well. My immediate branch boss (we'll call him Simon) was a chatty altho not especially likeable type. For his holidays he went to visit established family friends in Sweden There was also an IT side to the firm due to media updates for leased products, all adding up to a well informed crowd. One day there was some disturbing gossip about Simon, in that an old school friend of his had taken up the vocation of being a porn actor - they were in no doubt about this and naturally I was reluctant to voice any opinion. A week or so later Simon happily announced that for this years holiday his Swedish friends were going to visit his family for a change. Bearing in mind the previous shocking rumour about his former school chum, I conjured my best XXX Swedish accent and loudly asked "Are we making movies?" thus imitating the visiting guests. His smile evaporated and all could see he was greatly offended. Silence greeted my humour but even worse, I couldn't stop laughing about it. I don't work there now.
