You know how they say you shouldn't drink too much at work gatherings? After hearing this following story from a friend, I've decided I may stick to Perrier at my next official work party out of contact paranoia!
So this woman took her fun boyfriend to a work party, and after a couple beers, the guy (who apparently has no filter even when sober) started telling off-color jokes — to her conservative boss! Horrified at what was unfolding, the girlfriend elbowed him in the ribs, mumbled some sort of apology, and dragged him away.
The next morning, she apologized to her boss and told her he wasn't usually like that, but the damage is probably done. Have you ever witnessed something like this, or put your foot in your mouth while telling a dumb joke? How did it all turn out?

The best relief is comedic relief. If I were the blushing girlfriend of the drunken boyfriend, I would certainly apologize and then find someway to lighten the situation with some comedy. You could say something like, "That's what I get for dating one of the creative producers of the movie JACKASS. Hopefully the boss will find appreciation for your attempt to soften the edges of a somewhat awkward situation. If not, know your boyfriends behavior doesn't define you. He shamed himself. Don't allow his sins to wash up on your shore...And next time there is a company shin dig, consider flying solo...
