A true story from the World’s Second Best-Selling Aircraft Company:

This guy and his co-worker got fired. Seems they’d been having an affair. The WSBSAC doesn’t give a toot about your sex life; the reason they got fired is that they’d been doing it on company time and falsifying their timesheets.

How would that be for an awkward conversation with your wife? “Um, honey, I’ve been having an affair. Oh, and I got fired, too.”
