Jonny and Sinclair had been joking over e-mail that she has slept with most of the staff here. I thought, "Hey, cool. All right." Apparently, it's been a joke with them because Sinclair is so chaste and the jokes were ironic, not good-natured ribbing. I did not clue into that, so all of the conversations during lunch and comments made by the staff while I was waiting sounded dirty.
"Is your party all here yet?"
"No (Wilson answers knowingly), "I'm waiting for Sinclair ----."
"Oh! I know Sinclair. Everyone here loves Sinclair..."
(me, internally, "Holy crap! I had no idea she had such a wild side!")
It's only by a turn of farcical comments at the end of lunch that my misconception was revealed.
Although I sort of like it the other way better.
