The vice-president of a local company had quite a problem. He was told by
his boss to lay off one of his employees, either Mary or Jack. His choice
was a tough one because Mary had been a devoted employee for 10 years and
Jack was a fine worker who had a family to support. At night the VP tossed
and turned in his sleep trying to decide which of his employees he would
lay off. Finally he decided, the first one to come to work tomorrow would
be the one. Morning finally comes and the VP waits at the office for one
of
the two employees to arrive. At 8:55 Mary walks into the office. “I’ve
got
a difficult decision” the VP says, “I either have to lay you or Jack off.”
“Oh, jack-off” Mary says, “I’ve got a headache.”
