Who's the Boss?

My cousin Louie got fired the other day from his construction job. Curious, I asked him what happened. "You know what a foreman is?" he asked. "The one who stands around and watches the other men work?" "Sure, but what's that got to do with it?" I asked. "Well, he just got jealous of me," Louie explained. "You see, everyone thought I was the foreman."
