| After the annual office New Year party, John woke up with a pounding headache, cotton-mouthed, and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceding evening. After a trip to the bathroom he was able to make his way downstairs, where his wife put some coffee in front of him. "Louise," he moaned, "tell me what went on last night. Was it as bad as I think?" "Oh, Even worse," she assured him, her voice laden with scorn. "You made a complete ass of yourself! You succeeded in antagonizing the entire board of directors, and insulted the president of the company to his face." John looked up and replied, "He's a jerk! Piss on him!" "You did," Louise informed him. "And he immediately fired you." "Well screw him and his whole board of directors," growled John. Louise quickly remarked, "John, I'm really glad you feel that way... because I did! You're back to work on Monday." |
