After the annual office Christmas party blow-out, John woke up with a pounding headache, cotton-mouthed, and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceding evening. After a trip to the bathroom he was able to make his way downstairs, where his wife put some coffee in front of him. โLouise,โ he moaned, โtell me what went on last night. Was it as bad as I think?โ
โEven worse,โ she assured him in her most scornful one. โYou made a complete ass of yourself, succeeded in antagonizing the entire board of directors, and insulted the chairman of the company to his face.โ
โHeโs an arrogant, self-important prick, p iss on him!โ
โYou did. All over his suit, โ Louise informed him. โAnd he fired you.โ
โWell, f uck him,โ said John.
โI did. Youโre back at work on Monday.โ
