Guy: So what are you doing here?
Me: Drinking.
Guy: Yeah, but why here?
Me: This is my bar. It's across the street from my place.
Guy: But it's the most low-class place in town!
Me: Well, I guess I'm a low-class person then.
Guy: Aren't you afraid this might tarnish your reputation? You are a professor, you need to start thinking about these things. What if your Dean finds out that you frequent such a place?
Me: If I'm not mistaken, you told me that you are a professor of Physics at . . . College. And still I always see you in this bar. Aren't you afraid for your reputation?
Guy: It's different for me, though.
Me: How is it different?
Guy: Well, I'm a guy.
After this comment, I continued tarnishing my reputation at the other side of the bar.

There is a surprising gender issue in your story. I was expecting the guy to say that it is different for him because he is a tenured Professor.
I must be too conceited because I thought that he will say the difference is that I work for an Ivy-league school and he works for an insignificant little college. :-)
