You're Having a Giraffe

A conversation with my boss today:

Boss:  So we need to get a night out organized for you, as you'll be leaving the Country.

Me:  I guess so.  That sounds lovely.

Boss:  Are you busy any of these upcoming Friday or Saturdays?

Me:  Well, I have ballet class on Friday, but could meet you guys after.

Boss:  Couldn't you skip ballet?

Me: . . .. . . . . .  . . . .  It's already been paid for.
