Temp's Wage

I guess some things will never change. I hired a temp while my secretary was on maternity leave. Trying to arrive at an agreeable wage, I asked what she expected to earn.

She said:

- Well... the minimum I could work for is four hundred a week.

I told her I'd give her that much with pleasure. She shook her head and replied:

- With pleasure, it'll be $600 a week.
