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…
