Overheard at Callahan's...
"Since it wasn't the first time we'd caught him doing that on duty, I had no choice but to fire him."
Rob winced. "Yeah, I can see why. But what about the starboard engine monitor?"
"I had to fire her, too," replied Lindy with a straight face.
He blinked, noticed the smile that was starting to form on her face, and laughed. She quickly joined in.
After a few seconds, Rob said, "Oh, you had me going there. And we even have a similar joke here, too." Then he sighed, and continued, "I do like your sense of humour. If it wasn't for the fact that I already have three girlfriends - all of whom know about each other, I'll point out - I'd be asking whether you might be interested in a closer relationship between the two of us."
She smiled in all seriousness. "I'm flattered, but I don't think of you that way. I'd rather we just be friends."
He nodded as his cellphone alarm chimed. "Friends it is, then. And I have to go before the girls get home from school. Same time next week?"
"I'll be here!"
