Hope everyone is well. I had to share this real quick. Recently, I taught my 61-year-old boss the art of “that’s what she said.” He asked me what it was and ever so awkwardly I explained the turn of a phrase that changes its meaning to something more vulgar. This was about a month ago and thankfully the topic never came up again.
This morning he returned from a business trip and noticed my hair was different. Here we go. Enjoy.
Boss: Oh, you cut your hair. Did you donate it to Locks of Love?
Me: Unfortunately it was only seven inches.
Boss: THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!
Me: You’ve been waiting for the perfect moment, haven’t you?
Boss: I DID IT! Was that good?
Me: Yes, I didn’t even see it coming.
Boss: THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!
Me: I did this to myself.
Boss: THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID! Thank you. I’m going to do this all day to everyone.
Me: So glad I could help. So glad.
I sure hope you have room in your novel for a character modeled after your boss. You could get some good mileage there…
I’ve considered it, haha. He’s such a great character. Sometimes I wish he was made up!
Be careful what you do in life. . . Or in this case, say all day.
You’re a good teacher, it seems. I think I’d like to study under you…. Wait, did she say that, too?
It seems as though you’re already a master!
Your kind words flatter me, teach. I feel as though I have more to learn, though.
Almost everything can be made dirty, so just say it after every statement ever. You’re bound to find one that is pure gold.
Yeah, but I don’t want to be shooting blanks that often. You know? (I’m setting you up here, teach.)
That’s…what…she….saaaiiiddd….
And BOOM goes the dynamite. We’re an awesome team.
I love that video by the way with the guy covering the game and BOOM goes the dynamite. hahaha
It is one of the best ones out there.
SEE WHAT YOU’VE DONE! (That’s all I’m saying’)
I know, I totally asked for it (yeah. yeah, that’s what she said).
I can’t stop giggling here!! I can imagine the proud glance in his eyes for finding the correct time to say it haha!
SO proud. You’ve never seen an aging science nerd quite as proud.
Ahahaha! Your student is off the hook I’d say — funny!
Haha thanks. When a PhD becomes the student, who knows what will happen!
As the saying goes… You’ve created a monster. Good luck with that. ; –)
Uggggh, I was just trying to answer a man’s query. Why I thought it wouldn’t amount to anything is just beyond me, haha.
Ah I love it. Wait, that’s what she said. Hahahahahahahah! Carry on. Giggle and snort!
We could really do this all day.
That’s what she said. hahahahahahahahaha!
haha, damn it!
Dammit, I have no retort for that!
Even a little La la goes a long way….
Hilarious post!
OMG that is too fucking funny. You created a monster. I wish I could have been there to see this exchange, and to see the expression on both of your faces. I would have laughed myself silly.
Haha, I honestly didn’t think it would amount to anything. I was wrong!
Now, you can sue him for inappropriate workplace humor. Nice move, LaLa.
Hmm…..you have some of the best fucking ideas.
I’ll take 10% of whatever you’re awarded by the courts.
That should get you a raise or a promotion.
Should have thought of that in the moment. I’ll teach him some deez nuts jokes if that’s what it takes!
Yup. It’s irresistibly, embarrassingly, addictive. We’re fucked.
Hahaha, if you and I ever hung out we would have such fun with this kind of shit!
I know! Come to the wild wild west, baybay!
I’m actually considering heading west and visiting a few people while I’m out there. It would be really fun!!!!!!!
Seriously. When!?
I don’t know yet, but will of course see if you’re around when I decide!
Good! Fun!!
You totally just made my day
Aw yay! I’m so glad.
Friggin’ hilarious. I love that he totally DID wait for the perfect moment to unleash that on you. A for effort, D for execution.
I’ve been waiting for an appearance by your boss. So funny. Have you decided when you are coming to visit LA yet?
Perhaps you could teach him how to pull your finger! (Then it’d probably be prudent to hide out in LA for a while.)
Oh man. Now you need to teach him the art of Not Spoiling a Good Thing.
Hey, La La. Yes, look what you started. You’ll have to wear ear plugs!
Not a bad idea…that helps with a lot of things, really.
My 65 year old father has just recently picked up this habit. I don’t know where he learned it, because he’s not very good at it.
Where did you by that Guacamole?
At the store.
That’s what she said!
*sigh*
Hah, that’s cute. Kind of. My dad is 65 too…hope he doesn’t start with it!
This is hilarious! You clearly deserve a promotion
I do, I do deserve a promotion!
I am writing a comment on your blog.
This is a reply to your comment on my blog.
That’s what she said.
This is what retirement looks like, that’s what she said . . . .
Hahahaha
I agree with Miss Four Eyes. Is there a new salary bracket for employees who teach their bosses dirty jokes? That should be a thing.
IT SHOULD be a thing. I adore your tiara, by the way.
Thanks it’s the It accessory for spring.
This is classic! I’ve always had a good laugh when I hear that line, and your boss mastered it perfectly. (Where he promptly now says, “That’s what she said!”)
He would chime in if he knew I had a blog…and then I would probably get fired haha.
Beautiful, I can see his gleeful face as he turns everything into sexual euphemisms. This is a cautionary tale, never to tell my boss anything (of course, all my co-workers are Koreans, so I had to explain “make out” to one teacher a couple weeks ago)
Hi. I saw you’d been poking round on my blog, so popped over to say hello.
Is your boss always a dork, or was it a special occasion?
Always. He’ll be going up on my wall next to Poe, I’m sure. .
Hey now I recognise the face. Lauren Moscato. Hello.
Wow. You are an excellent tutor–he really mastered the topic.
This made me laugh, he is going to have a great day!
HAHAHAHA!! You really did bring this upon yourself… Haha!
