I'm not interested in sex!
(Baonghean) - In the Year of the Horse, at the Hour of the Goat, on the Day of the Monkey, in the Month of the Dog, a certain agency held an emergency meeting with an extremely serious agenda: to reprimand and criticize Mr. Phung Tai Vong, also known as the Head of the Finance Department. The "offense" was identified as: violating ethics, lifestyle, and engaging in illicit relationships. That's the way it's written on A4 paper; in common parlance, it's simply called chasing after women!
This offense warrants a thorough reprimand! Fifteen cold, stony faces unleashed a torrent of "beautiful words and eloquent phrases." The only one I feel sorry for is Mr. Vong; he was less than half a year away from receiving that small, green envelope that people commonly call his retirement book, yet he's already entangled in legal, or rather, romantic, entanglements. The reprimand lasted two days and eighteen minutes. One would think that was the end of it, but the story had only just begun. I don't know where it came from, what the root cause was, but suddenly, in the same agency, with the same faces that had once uttered so many beautiful words and eloquent phrases, less than a month after that historic reprimand, the number of people violating ethical conduct and engaging in illicit relationships—what the common people call chasing women—flourished! From one person to two, from two to three, then four, then five… Every week there were meetings and reprimands. Too many, too many to handle! A "breakthrough" initiative was immediately proposed: "From now on, we will no longer reprimand those who are involved with other women; there isn't enough time. We will only reprimand those who are exposed, and the content will only revolve around why they allowed themselves to be exposed."
But then too many people were exposed, and the news spread from one person, two, three... until everyone was revealed. Before long, the bad news reached the "rear," and some of the "female traitors" couldn't bear it any longer and began filing complaints. The agency had to hold disciplinary meetings. However, due to the nature and severity of the issue, the meetings only focused on the individuals whose wives filed complaints, and the content revolved around why they allowed their wives to write the complaints... which negatively impacted the agency's emulation movement!
They thought it was a "sweet deal," but unexpectedly, the number of men accused by their wives was so high—13 out of 15 were found guilty—that they couldn't possibly hold everyone accountable! Finally, another "innovative" idea was proposed: The remaining two men would be held accountable for the "crime" of refusing to... violate the rules. The reason given was: it was only because there were two more men that the wives were filing complaints; if everyone else were having affairs, who would sue whom! A brilliant trick!
At this final session, in a spirit of frankness and also for the exchange of experiences, the chairman posed several questions requiring the "offender" to clarify:
Why is there no evidence of "sexual interaction"?
Why is it necessary to hold a review meeting at the agency?
After a long silence, the "suspect" blushed, awkwardly stood up, and answered.
- I'm not interested in sex!
- Do you require a clear explanation?
- Not being interested in sex is… the sin of not being interested in women!
The meeting adjourned at the hour of the Rooster (5-7 PM).
