Halloween costume-2

I was speechless! Hadn’t anyone clued this guy in on who I really was? I looked around at my co-workers and they were all studiously ignoring what was going on! Now I was on the horns of a REAL problem! If I went ahead and danced with this guy, then he would be embarrassed and probably hate me for fooling him! If I turned him down, then he would still be embarrassed because he would get kidded about not even being able to get a guy to dance with him, much less a woman! It seemed that, no matter which way I went with this, he was going to come out a loser and I was going to have a problem with him in the future as I was certain he would try to get back at me!

I thought about it for a few seconds, standing there with him looking at me, expectantly. Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration and I leaned in and whispered in his ear. “Listen, Arnie. It’s me, Mike! Don’t let on that I have told you anything. I think the rest of the workers are trying to put one over on both of us so how’s about we turn it around on them? Play along with me and we’ll give them a dance to remember! Otherwise, we are BOTH going to be embarrassed and probably end up hating one another!”
