Nah, Prob­a­bly Just My Wife

Cowork­er #1: I can’t be­lieve you would give some­one a nick­name like that!
Cowork­er #2: I thought you knew what a “pole smok­er” was.
Cowork­er #1: No, I did­n’t. And my mom did­n’t think it was fun­ny when my wife ex­plained it to the fam­i­ly at East­er, ei­ther!
Cowork­er #2: So does that mean you’re go­ing to change your screen name?
