She'll be Back to Take His Job
Published Jan 01, 1900
The boss returned from lunch in a good mood and called the whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had picked up. Everybody but one woman laughed uproariously. Used to having a better audience, his good mood quickly faded. "What's the matter?" grumbled the boss. "Can't you get the joke?" "I don't have to laugh," she said. "I'm leaving Friday."
