YOU know those moments when you really mustn't laugh and yet you feel you absolutely have to? I had one of those this afternoon during a lunch I had with the head of a company that shall remain nameless. It was one of those sandwich lunches where frantic scribbling takes precedence over a range of Pret sandwiches, so you never feel you eat anything proper and yet you consume a startling number of calories.
This nameless company makes condoms, and as of recently, sex toys. My lunching companions consisted of three men in suits and a number of prototype sex toys. They were purple, which is fine, and perfectly inoffensive. However, one of the men in suits' mobile went off in the middle of proceedings and I automatically picked up the nearest example of the genre - which, to be fair, looked a bit like a phone. I don't THINK any of them noticed I had just tried to answer a vibrator, but maybe they were secretly as amused as I was.
