| 23-BOB HAS A SURPRISE VISITOR
|
| Bob’s former boss Peter, from the furniture store, comes to visit.
|
| He offers Bob his old job back, but Bob’s not interested.
|
| Peter: Hi Bob. |
| I was just in the neighborhood so I thought I’d stop by.
|
| Bob: Come on in. Take a cookie.
|
| Peter: Thanks. |
| I’m glad to see you’re not holding a grudge against me for
|
| firing you.
|
| Bob: Not at all. |
| At first, it burned me up. |
| But I feel better now.
|
| Peter: Good. |
| I’m glad you have no hard feelings. |
| How would you like your old
|
| job back?
|
| Bob: What happened to your wonderful new manager?
|
| Peter: She drank at work. |
| By five o’clock, she’d be lying under a dining room
|
| table, three sheets to the wind. |
| Yesterday, I finally got rid of her.
|
| Bob: Let me get this straight. |
| You replaced me with some crazy woman who got
|
| plastered every day on the job?
|
| Peter: Yeah, I lost my head.
|
| Bob: I don’t think you lost your head. |
| I just think you’ve got rocks in your
|
| head!
|
| Peter: Bob, I’m trying to level with you. |
| I never should’ve let you go.
|
| Bob: No use crying over spilt milk.
|
| Peter: So you’ll come back and work for me?
|
| Bob: Not on your life! |
| Susan and I are very well off now. |
| We just sold our new
|
| company for a small fortune! |
