I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "crazy", then he would tell me to take a few days off.

So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who is blond) asked me what I was doing.

I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, so that the Boss might think I was "crazy" and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, "What in the name of good GOD are you doing?"

I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days."

I jumped down and walked out of the office.

When my co-worker (the blond) followed me, the Boss asked her, "...And where to you think you're going?!"

(You're gonna love this..)


She said, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."
