1.26. She lost her job when she invited them to dinner.
(DS original)

1.26 answer: Let’s say “she” is named Suzy, and “they” are named Harry
and Jane. Harry is an elderly archaeologist who has found a very old
skeleton, which he’s dubbed “Jane” (a la “Lucy”). Suzy is a buyer for a
museum; she’s supposed to make some sort of purchase from Harry, so she
invites him to have a business dinner with her (at a restaurant). When she
calls to invite him, he keeps talking about “Jane,” so Suzy assumes that
Jane is his wife and says to bring her along. Harry, offended, calls Suzy’s
boss and complains; since Suzy should’ve known who Jane was, she gets
fired.
