DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD WORK HERE?

Postby Peterc » Tue Jun 12, 2007 8:56 pm

I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a holiday. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside down on the
ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker asked me what I was doing? I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off. A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing?" I told him I was a light bulb. He said "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days". I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker followed me, the Boss asked her "...And where do you think you're going?" (You're gonna love this..... )
She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark

It's a good joke but if your Cypriot boss was to catch you hanging off the lamp he’d give you a wet rag to clean it and tell you to go do the rest! :)

It's a good joke but can't see how this can help solve the Cyprus Problem or can it?

Ok Einstein, sorry GR I would not use a wet cloth near electricity. Use a dry cloth instead. Be safe!!!
