Joe's Band

Joe was a band manager. He was currently out of work because every band that he managed refused to listen to his good advice.
One day he answered an ad that said "Band Manager Wanted for Rock Group 'The Rolling Eggs'". Joe applied and was hired.
The band proved extremely cooperative and listened to his suggestions and advice. Thus the band began to make lots and lots of money. The band members became more and more greedy and decided to reduce Joe's percentage of the profits.
Joe confronted them and said, in an angry tone of voice, "I'll sue you for breach of contract, you ungrateful idiots." Then Joe punched the lead guitarist in the face. The rest of the band members tackled Joe to restrain him and told him he was fired.
The moral, of course, is:
Don't fight the band that heeds you.
