Parable

A little fairy tale

A sales rep, a secretary and a manager go to lunch and find an antique lamp. They rub it, and a Genie appears out of it. He says, “I will grant one wish to each of you.” “Me first, me first!” says the secretary. “I want to be in the Bahamas right now, on a boat, and not think about anything.” Pshh! She disappears. “Now me, now me,” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach, with a massage, an endless supply of Pina Coladas, and the love of my life.” Pshh! He disappears. “Now it’s your turn,” the Genie says to the manager. “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: always let the boss speak first.
