The older top manager had been keeping an eye on the young colleague for a long time. The upcoming “Schnitzel and Blowjob Day” came in very handy for him. Instead of Valentine’s Day, which is only for women with chocolates, flowers and romantic gadgets, it should be a holiday for men with exactly the things that men dream of, the initiators of the “Schniblo Day” announced March chosen for it. There is also an info-pdf to print out and hang up, t-shirts and a website with suggestive pictures. The manager of the German subsidiary of an international corporation sent such a picture, on it of a woman with her mouth wide open for oral sex, to the service e-mail address of his colleague, who was significantly younger and significantly lower in the corporate hierarchy. And he provided the picture with a saying: “Well, let’s go.”
