There is no safer answer for you.

I agree, unless you really don't care about your job or reputation. If that is the case, I am sure that the FB can devise a suitably twisted manner to implode both.

I find "decolletage" conveys a certain sense of classy sexuality while "cleavage" sounds a little slutty. Something I would use for a Hooters gal or one of those airheads with a low cut shirt selling jaegermeister shots at bars.

And if you merely say cleavage you could be talking toe or butt cleavage, while decolletage unmistakable refers to your tits.

Edited to say I'm sorry, I meant to say "refers to your rack," which sounds classier.

Wow. Congratulations on that. Did you show a lot of cleavage?

j/k-I'm sure you are are the exception to the rule of my admittedly catty comment.

It's a trendy thing to do.

No I wasn't. I highly recommend gathering as much information as possible about those you work with on a routine basis. You never know when you will need to use it.

Just make sure that there aren't any of those hidden cameras installed in the offices if you are going to rumage through partner's desks. Or have a good excuse that you were looking for something important ready incase there is a hidden camera.

I thought decolletage covered the entire chestal area? Like, basically from the neck down to the top edge of the nipples.

I reacll a similar windfall one St. Pat's day selling pitchers of beer and Lucky Charms.

It makes me wonder why I stopped slinging beer to become a lawyer. I still feel like I need a shower when I get home.

You know what? I hate you. Even reading TM eviscerating you brings me no joy. You have sucked the fun out of entire days for me.

Could you please go now?

Classy in a Jackie Collins kind of way.

More of a Madonna-speaking-with-a-British-accent kind of way.

The OddMan and I were recently out with another couple when we began discussing situations when we've been hit on, like strange encounters with the opposite or same sex.

The OddMan then launched into his tale of having us invited by one of his coworkers to have sex with them.

The other couple was a little surprised that we had been approached by different couples we know socially.

Their surprise made me wonder: isn't swinging a fairly banal, suburban activity?

I don't know that I would call it commonplace, but I wouldn't call it uncommon either.

We have a couple of pretty big key clubs not too far from the burg.

FWIW, as an experienced suburban boy, I have seen many, many affairs, but have never encountered (or even heard rumor of) the swap situation which I think you mean when you say "Swinging."

Isn't it a bit rude to decline an invitation after having asked for it?

And you don't want to be the star witness at the trial in which the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Partner takes him for everything he's got (except maybe the rug)...

This is very insightful - I have seen this happen in a situation close enough to Glazed Ham's to be scary (associate instead of paralegal, no rug, otherwise identical). It would be best to avoid situations is possible where the only corroborating evidence of what each of you are doing is each other. It's not so much that you will be suspected of being the other other woman (which you and every other female associate, paralegal and secretary will), as much as that you may be suspected of covering for him.

While it's good to "forget" the whole thing, just don't forget to make sure it never has a chance to come up again.
