“Whatever you do, you can’t do that,” Sal said.
“Can’t do what?” I asked.
Don’t be sneaky, pal,” Sal said. “You know full well what I’m talking about.”
“Honestly, I don’t,” I said. “Can you give me an assist here? Cut me some slack, maybe?”
“I’ve already given you too much leeway,” Sal said. “And it gives me little comfort, but I have to put my foot down this time.”
“Listen, Sal,” I said. “Maybe I’ve developed a bunch of cobwebs in my head, but I have no idea what your objection is to my being on this afternoon’s conference call.”
Sal sighed. “The last conference call you were on you apparently forgot that it was a Zoom call. You stood up, had no pants on, and had a boner.”
“Oh right,” I said. “I guess I blocked that memory.”
Written for Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie First Line Friday, where the first line is, “Whatever you do, you can’t do that.” Also for these daily prompts: My Vivid Blog (sneaky), Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (assist), Your Daily Word Prompt (leeway), The Daily Spur (comfort), Word of the Day Challenge (cobweb), and Ragtag Daily Prompt (conference).
Thanks for the full on laugh out loud.

Another weird aspect of the Zoom-meeting era, hehe. I remember the Jetsons cartoon, set in the future, which had fake faces all made-up and coiffed to answer the video phone in the mornings.
