After you! I was headed back into the building I work in after lunch today, when I bumped into Frank, who was also returning from lunch. Frank is a pretty cool guy. Unfortunately, I think we got off on the wrong foot back in April when I was having car trouble. Frank was nice enough to give me a couple of rides, but I quickly wore out my welcome for some reason and he pawned me off on Howie. Now that my car is working again, I thought I could engage in a little idle chit-chat with Frank without irritating him.

"How's it going, Frank?' I asked.

"That all depends," said Frank. "How's your car?"

I laughed. "My car is fine. Thanks for asking," I said.

"In that case, things are good," Frank smiled.

As we approached the banks of elevators in the lobby, I saw something that made me smile. "It's nice to see that chivalry is not dead," I said to Frank.

"What?" said Frank

I said, "That group that just got on an elevator ahead of us, one of the men said, 'After you,' to the women, to let them get on the elevator first. It's nice to see that in this day and age that there are still some gentlemen in the world."

"That has nothing to do with being a gentleman," said Frank. "It's so the men can check out the womens asses as they enter the elevator."

I chuckled. "Do you really think so?" I asked.

"Of course," said Frank.

"Huh," I said. "Interesting."

Our elevator arrived a few seconds later. When the elevator door opened, I turned to Frank and said, "After you." He gave me such a look of confusion and disgust that I had to laugh.

Then he got on the elevator......walking backwards.

Ha ha.
