The boss walked in, greeting his team with the usual confidence, completely unaware of the wardrobe malfunction that had occurred. His pants\u2019 zipper was undone, and everyone in the office noticed. But how do you tell your boss that he\u2019s left the \u201cgarage door\u201d open?\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><b>The Secretary\u2019s Dilemma<br>\n<span style='\"font-size:'>As the boss\u2019s secretary, she was faced with a tricky situation. Should she tell him directly and risk embarrassing him, or should she try to be subtle? Choosing the latter, she approached him with a clever metaphor, asking, \u201cBoss, this morning when you left home, did you close the garage door?\u201d It was a subtle hint, but one that the boss didn\u2019t immediately catch.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><b>The Boss\u2019s Realization: A Lightbulb Moment<br>\nPuzzled by the Comment<br>\n<span style='\"font-size:'>The boss, initially puzzled by the secretary\u2019s comment, simply nodded and walked into his office. It wasn\u2019t until later, while settling into his work, that he noticed his zipper was undone. That\u2019s when the metaphor finally clicked. The \u201cgarage door\u201d was his zipper, and it had been wide open for the world to see.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><b>Deciding to Have Some Fun<br>\n<span style='\"font-size:'>Realizing the subtle hint from his secretary, the boss decided to turn the situation into a light-hearted joke.

After all, if you\u2019re going to be caught with your zipper down, why not have a little fun with it?\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><b>The Secretary\u2019s Perfect Response<br>\n<span style='\"font-size:'>But the secretary wasn\u2019t about to let him off the hook so easily.
