Lay-Off Decision An executive was in quandary. He had to get rid of one of his staff. He had narrowed it down to one of two people, Debra or Jack. It would be a hard decision to make, as they were both equally qualified and both did excellent work. He finally decided that, in the morning, whichever one used the water cooler first would have to go. Debra came in the next morning, hugely hung-over after partying all night. She went to the cooler to get some water, to take an aspirin, and the executive approached her. He said, "Debra, I've never done this before, and I hate to say it; but I have to either lay you or Jack off." Wearily, Debra replied, "Could you please just jack off? I feel like hell today."
