Work
Published Jan 01, 1900
A union shop steward is addressing a union meeting... "Comrades. We have agreed on a new deal with the management. We will no longer work four days a week." "Hooray!", goes the crowd. "We will finish work at 4 PM, not 5 PM." "Hooray!", goes the crowd, again. "We will start work at 10 AM, not 9 AM." "Hooray!" "We have a 150% pay rise." "Hooray!" "We will only work on Wednesdays." Silence...then a voice from the back asks, "Every Wednesday?"
