Will The Real Madonna Manson Please Stand Up?

Back in the days when office cubicles were ubiquitous, my colleagues in surrounding cubicles never learned that their individual cubes weren’t soundproof.

I overheard a manager walk into my neighboring coworker’s cube.

Manager: “So, how did the meeting with Human Resources go?”

Coworker: “Oh, I was able to clear that up. [Office Manager] got a bit confused when she accused me.”

Manager: “I heard what she said. How could she be that confused?”

Coworker: “She confused Madonna with Marilyn Monroe, then she confused Marilyn Monroe with Marilyn Manson, and then she confused him with Charles Manson.”

Now I really want to know what [Coworker] was accused of!
