My secretary, Francoise, was taking dictation when suddenly she dropped her pencil and notepad and blurted out,
“Claire, I need to see the sex therapist who’s renting your small office”
(You might be wondering the appropriateness of a lawyer renting out a spare office to a sex therapist.
Funny, I didn’t think of it at the time!)
Seeing the puzzled look on my face, Francoise rushed to explain.
“I’ve separated from my husband. I have a boyfriend. We go to concerts, the art gallery. We enjoy many things together... except sex. He’s a mama’s boy.
Now that's a problem, because I enjoy sex.
So I get together for sex with my separated husband.”
“So, what’s the problem?”
“Well, my whole family is horrified. 'Francoise, that just isn’t proper!’
So I thought, maybe they’re right. Maybe I do have a problem.
Maybe I should see the sex therapist that’s renting your small office.”
I broke out laughing. “Francoise, you don’t need a sex therapist.
You’ve got the perfect solution:
A division of labor...just like running a business!
It's not as if you're taking from Pierre to pay Paul.
Enjoy each man for what they do best!"
