“I desperately needed a few days off work and I just couldn’t think of anything that would make my boss ask me to take a a few days off.

After a few hours (and a few beers) I finally came up with the best motive: I’ll suddenly go crazy and my boss will have to let me go to a shrink or some sort of a doctor.

So the next day I went to work earlier and told my assistant about my brilliant plan. She thought I couldn’t do it. She was wrong!

After I walked into my office I threw my shoes off and hooked my feet to the ceiling. My boss came in.

Boss: “What the hell are you doing, son?!”

Me: ” Isn’t it obvious? I’m a lightbulb! I brighten this office!”

Boss: “I think it’s time for you to go to a shrink. Why don’t you take this week off and get well, huh? See you next week!”

My plan had worked! As soon as my boss walked out of my office I walked out too. Then, suddenly my assistant followed me.

Boss: “Where are you going?”
Assistant: “I’m sorry boss, I can’t work if there’s no more light in the office!”
