Roses are red...

This Sunday is Mother's Day in France. The company provided everybody with a rose for the employees to give to their mothers. Only this time with a difference. The person in charge of late shift decided that my cow-orker and myself, being the only two blokes left in the building, could hand roses to the girls... and give them a kiss on each cheek as well.

Just think, in lesser countries, I could scream about sexual harrassment, loss of dignity, trauma... Hehe... But the flip side, I guess, is "oh my God, we have to kiss him!".

Of course, I decided to play along with it, so I grabbed a big sticky label and wrote on it "Je suis un célibataire!" and a smiley heart. That got a big giggle from everybody.

 

Your comments:

As of February 2025, commenting is no longer available to UK residents, following the implementation of the vague and overly broad Online Safety Act. You must tick the box below to verify that you are not a UK resident, and you expressly agree if you are in fact a UK resident that you will indemnify me (Richard Murray), as well as the person maintaining my site (Rob O'Donnell), the hosting providers, and so on. It's a shitty law, complain to your MP.
It's not that I don't want to hear from my British friends, it's because your country makes stupid laws.

I should point out, it was the cheek-kissing thing that French people do. This was no full-on snog, thankfully...

Shame ... 
 
How many girls were there, incidentally?

Um... About twelve. 
To give the infamous quote: girls are like domain names - all the good ones are taken.
