My longtime boss, Sal, wanted to go out. So at the company's expense, he flew me in and put me in a hotel. I took him to a favorite restaurant near the airport, and we toasted and ate through the night.
Two days later, he said, "If anyone asks, Mark and Amy and Jason and CJ were there, too. That's on the expense report."
"Sure thing. Why?"
"Otherwise we look like total alcoholics. We had 24 drinks."
Wow.
"I'd dispute that, Sal, but I can't remember."
