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.
