Because George loved cats, he was accused of sexual harassment. How come? | ||

George - H/A/M? Sexual harassment of women? children? men? Was he accused of one incident of sexual harassment? more than one? By a woman? by a child? by a man? By the one who thought he/she was being harassed? Did George want to pet/pick up a cat and touch someone instead? (Reminds of an episode of the Simpsons where Homer sees a piece of candy stuck to the babysitter's backside, reaches for it and is then accused of sexual harassment.} | ||

Hey, the Simpsons are high-class intellectual TV too! (: Was a cat present during the incident? Were there any witnesses? Was the person who accused him a witness? Was the harassment verbal? physical? Is his relationship with the "victim" relevant? If so - friends? family? co-workers? strangers? Anything else about the "victim" relevant?

"What if I said no?" - I would make up new names until I find some you accept! Has George sent the e-mail yet? Does Max read the e-mail before Lucy does? Does Max know that it's about Lucy's cat? Had Lucy asked George a question about her cat? Whether he could take care of it when she's on holiday? Is the cat's name the word that makes Max think Lucy is being harassed?

Do you seriously send work e-mails from your work account to each other using cat names? Because if so - yeah, that's sort of crazy and really unprofessional. Then again, standards vary from industry to industry and I did spend 4 years over in education/academia and actually..I can totally see this happening. The cat's name is an adjective, yes? That also has some relationship to a word for breasts? Does it describe the cat's coloring? Fur? Face? Ears? Paws? Tail? Butt? | ||

does the word yopishly have something to do with breasts because it is an adjective which could be used to describe anything with similar qualities? or is it a word which actually has two different meanings? or maybe the problem was that the person who saw it had a dirty mind and that's why they leapt to conclusions because it's quite an innocent word? did we establish that the email began "Dear blank"? could this not have been misinterpreted in a memo or a letter?

Ok, let me rephrase... Did he begin the email "Dear [cat's name]?" "Dear [cat's name]'s owner?" Did the "Dear [blank]" include the name of the cat in any way? Did he use an email/internet abbreviation (like "u" instead of "you", "r" instead of "are" or "lol", "omg" etc.)? Or along those lines did he use "ur" to mean "your" as in the possessive but it was taken by the accuser to mean "you're" as in "you are"? The other way around? Could this have happened if he wrote her a letter instead of emailing her? Would it have been theoretically possible but less likely (such as if abbreviations are relevant; he likely wouldn't have said "ur" in a letter but he could have)? | ||

Are you sure the letters were transposed (e.g. xy -> xy)? Were the letters actually substituted (e.g. gg --> tt)? Did he address the letter "Dear Titty"? Was the cat's name Tiggy? | ||

Unfortunately, George once typed "Titly" by mistake on an email to Lucy & self-righteous Max saw it & accused George of sexual harassment. (The puzzle is ficticious, but I used to have a co-worker with a cat named 'Tilty" & we called each other by cat names. Once I actually mistyped 'Titly' but I caught the typo before sending the email. Even if I hadn't, it's very unlikely that there would have been fallout. The recipient would have realized it was a typo & no one else would be likely to see the email at all. Please see my new puzzle you know where.) | ||

Follow-up question... how does "Tilty" refer to the cat's appearance? | ||

By the way, of course a typo can cause this sort of problem even if cat names (or other nicknames) are not involved. Suppose you're sending an email to your colleague Ms. Fuchs, but. . . . |
