Fired for dissing the top guy's wife!

I finally got that big break--a job at a top advertising agency. It was my first job out of college. I hated secretarial work, but hey, it was in ADVERTISING! (WHOO HOOO!). I worked for the head of the media department. It was pretty boring, so one day, to liven it up, I mentioned at a meeting that I thought the woman being featured in a series of commercials was gross and stupid. I didn't know that she was the top guy's wife! OOOPS! I didn't need "the Donald" to tell me the two words I knew were coming "You're FIRED!" I never worked in advertising again, but I DID learn to keep my opinions to myself until I knew the score.
