“Are you ready to give your presentation?” asks my boss.
I have no idea how to work the PowerPoint thingy.
“My presentation,” I reply coolly.
He leans on my file cabinet. “The one I assigned you last Tuesday. On how the company is moving toward full ISO compliance.”
I also haven't the slightest clue what the ‘International Organization for Standardization' or whatever is or does.
“Sure I am,” I says.
“Care to give me some highlights?”
“Well," I says, "I figure we have to retool the whole company for it.”
“Really? Can you give me an example?”
Standing and looking around I says, “How many do you need?”
"How about just one?"
"For starters," I reply, "take for instance ... these … cubicles.”
“What about the cubicles?”
“Why hire average and large-sized people? We could fit four times as many people in here if we started hiring midgets.”
I see the temple on the left side of his head swell.
“And,” I continue, “we could stack the cubicles three-high, thusly tripling that number.”
-The right side temple pops forth, and I can clearly see the heartbeat surging through it.
“The Fire Marshall,” he replies, (thup-thup, thup-thup) “would never allow us to stack midgets in cubicles due to the lack of access to the fire escapes.”
“That’s what the tornado slides are for.”
