Currying Favor With the Boss

Currying Favor With the Boss By Elton Camp The CEO stood at the shredder, a puzzled look on his face He called out, “If I can’t make this work it’ll be a disgrace.” One of the younger secretaries happened to be passing by And rushed over when she heard the boss’ anguished cry “An agent from the FBI is coming to see me right away Miss Prunella, my secretary, has already left for the day. “If I don’t get this done there will much trouble, my dear. For to my private office this investigator is drawing near.” Seeing her chance, she said, “I’ll be glad to do it for you.” Sue inserted the document and then she pressed Start too Just as the stack disappeared into the shredder’s inside, “Only one copy is all I will need,” the big boss then cried “I have worked day & night on this report for nearly a year For this to remain the only copy causes me so much fear.”
