Of The Morons
Every now and then I have to visit the regional office for ridiculously lame meetings. I usually run into former department colleagues, and one of my former female bosses, who I like and respect, has put on a few pounds. I don't care about her appearance, because she's no prize to look at.
Last week, she was bent over a low filing cabinet and I had to squeeze past her. As I approached, she said "Hi John, I hope my big a$$ isn't in the way." I noodled through my responses, none were appropriate, so I just mumbled, looked like I was in a hurry, and got the hell out of there.
Question, Dave: What is the proper thing to say to my respected colleague whom I don't want to offend?
