One of my major employment faux pas occurred when my boss' future son-in-law was introduced to me when he dropped by the office one day. I asked him what he did for a living, and he told me he was a student of criminal justice. I then told him the "skid marks in front of" joke (my variation was a skunk in the road). He looked at me, and said, with total disdain, "I'm going to become a lawyer."
My response? "That's okay...I'll tell it again real slowly."
