They, myself and eight others (7 women and five men)were part of a group of 12 people who all worked for the same company for 15 years or more. We were all close friends and often went to lunch and out after work together. (We called ourselves The Dirty Dozen.)<BR/>...Our interaction preceded the environment in ofices today where sexual innuendos are taboo. All of us were married and we often got together with our repective spouses.<BR/>...These women were lovely and sweet, but they were not prudes.Hale McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548008024457474809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-1137645859348785742006-01-18T20:44:00.000-08:002006-01-18T20:44:00.000-08:00Jules, is that a request for me to shake it for yo...Jules, is that a request for me to shake it for you?<BR/>...Wouldn't that be assault?Hale McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548008024457474809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-1137645694813367432006-01-18T20:41:00.000-08:002006-01-18T20:41:00.000-08:00Peter, you are right.
