Tough Leave Policy

Jennifer had applied for a job and when she returned home, her mother asked how the interview went.
"Pretty good, I think," replied Jennifer, "but if I go to work there I won't get a vacation until I'm married."
Her mother, of course, had never heard of such a thing. "Is that what they told you?"
"No",replied Jennifer, "but right on the application it said 'vacation time may notbe taken until you've had your First Anniversary.'"
