"Do you have an antidote?"

I once heard a new retiree interviewed about her previous work with a well-known person. "Do you have an antidote?" she was asked. Now this could be what was intended, but the intended word was probably "anecdote." An antidote is a remedy for a malady (which can be needed after working with some people). An anecdote is an interesting, relevant story.
