At the party

— What do you do?, she asks.

— I fly around, courtesy of a multi-national corporation, enjoying posh hotels, quality food and great wine. I do nothing, in fact, not because I'm smart enough but because I've been shown how to forward emails.

She looks puzzled.

— Nuh, I'm just pulling your leg. I work 14 hours shifts, starting with Red Bull sans vodka at 7 and returning totally destroyed late in the evenings. You know, like, kaput! And then I answer emails till 2 a.m., but hey, that's just a hobby.

She looks even more puzzled.

No, this ain't the way. I should have known better.

Like 'kaput', you know...

Let me guess...both scenarios are correct?
