He felt threatened by women with more money than him

Tommy was a bit old fashioned. So he probably shouldn't have got a job in a female dominated office.

If that wasn't bad enough, he felt a bit threatened by confident women who earned good money.

His boss, Ms Angel, sent him off to make her a cup of tea. Dutifully, he trotted off.

To get to the kitchen, he had to walk past one lady, Ms Darcy, who he found particularly frightening.

As he walked past her desk, her caught her gaze, and her eyes seemed to be saying something.

"Don't come too close to my desk, or you'll take a spanking," she seemed to be saying. "Do you want some, pal? Eh? Do you think you're not too big to go over my knee?" he imagined her saying.

He ran into the kitchen, slammed the door behind him and leaned back on it. (He'd seen heroines do that in the movies)

He found hmself asking the same question."Why am threatened by successful, confident women?" he quivered.

Suddenly, he found the other kitchen door opening. He heard a familiar voice, "Well a well a well, a look who we got here," she tormented him. It was Ms Darcy. Her mouth was pursed in a mean scowl, so she let her tattoos do the talking. "looks like you got yourelf a penis as a fountain pen there, boy," she said, in her unmistakeable mid western drawl. He didn't know what that meant, but didn't dare question her.

She began to unburden herslf of her unhappiness.

And boy, could she talk.
