I had a boss who would tell racist and homophobic jokes at client lunches. What do you do in situations like that?

Just curious.
If it's a superior, I usually go with, "I wonder what you're saying about me when I'm not around." If it isn't a superior I say, "You sound like a real fucking asshole."
