The Day After.
Bob woke up after the annual office Christmas party with
a
pounding headache, cotton-mouthed and utterly unable
to recall
the events of the preceding evening. After a trip to the
bathroom, he made his way downstairs, where his wife put
some
coffee in front of him.
"Louise, " he moaned, "tell me what happened
last night. Was it
as bad as I think?"
"Even worse, " she said, her voice oozing scorn.
"You made a
complete ass of yourself. You succeeded in antagonizing
the
entire board of directors and you insulted the president
of
the company, right to his face."
"He's an idiot, " Bob said. "Piss
on him!" "You did, " came the
reply. "And he fired you."
"Well, screw him!" said Bob. "I did. You're
back at work on
Monday."
