You take care! It takes one to know one 正文 Yesterday, I was talking to an ex- colleague of mine who, quite frankly, has something of a big mouth. I bumped into him at the beach, where he was walking his dog. Anyway, as I was saying, hes the kind of guy thats always bad mouthing his co-workers. So he comes up to me and says, Hey, Jeff. Long time, no see. Whatve you been up to? Ah, not much, I said. Well, guess who I saw yesterday? John Robeson, the guy from accounting at Firth Industries. You remember him, the guy with big ears and and an ego to match. It takes one to know one, I thought, but I kept it so myself. Oh, really. How interesting, I replied. 2 Yeah, well, I hate to talk behind someones back, but ever since he and I had that falling out last year, Ive never really cared for the guy. How come? I asked. Well, hes a bit of a backstabber, always trying to outdo the other guy. I know what you mean, I said. I knew at this point it was time to make my exit, otherwise, this guy would go on about John Robeson for the next 10 minutes. What time do you have? I asked him. Its quarter after five. Geez, already? Man, Ive got to hit the road. Im supposed to meet my brother at the pier in a few minutes. But, hey, it was sure good to see you again. You take care! With that, I made my exit. Ive got better things to do than to listen to him gripe all day. * * *
