LIGHT DUTIES

TWO factory workers are talking. One says: “I can make the boss give me the day off.” “And how would you do that?” the other asks. “Just wait and see,” the first one says. She then hangs upside down from the ceiling.

The boss comes in and says: “What are you doing?” “I’m a light bulb,” the woman says. “You’ve been working so much you’ve gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off,” the boss says.

So the woman starts to leave and her co-worker gets up to follow her.

“Where do you think you’re going?” demands the boss of the second worker.

“I’m going home, too,” the second worker replies. “I can’t work in the dark.” Lou Minnus, email
