Funny Office Joke

-->

Employee:    Excuse me sir, may I talk to you? 
Boss:            Sure, come on in.   What can I do for you?

Employee:    Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee

                     of this prestigious firm for over ten years. 
Boss:            Yes.

Employee:    I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like

                     a raise. I currently have four companies after 

                     me and so I decided to talk to you first. 
Boss:            A raise?   I would love to give you a raise, but 

                     this is just not the right time.

Employee:    I understand your position, and I know that the

                     current economic down turn has had a 

                     negative impact on sales, but you must also

                     take into consideration my hard work, pro-

                     activeness and loyalty to this company for over

                     a decade. 
Boss:            Taking into account these factors, and 

                     considering I don't want to start a brain drain, 

                     I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and 

                     an extra five days of vacation time.  How does

                     that sound?

Employee:    Great!   It's a deal!   Thank you, sir! 
Boss:            Before you go, just out of curiosity, what 

                     companies were after you?

Employee:    Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, 

                     Water Company and the Mortgage Company!
