Genie at the Office

A customer service agent, an administration clerk, and their manager were all walking to lunch when they stumbled upon an old, antique oil lamp.

Knowing that old oil lamps can often house a genie they enthusiastically rubbed it in hopeful anticipation.

Genie

Sure enough, out pops a genie.

"I am the genie of the lamp and you can each have one wish," says the genie.

"Me first! Me first!" says the customer service agent.  "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."

There’s a poof sound followed by a cloud of smoke and the customer service agent’s gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the administration clerk.  "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with an endless supply of Piña Coladas and the love of my life."

There’s a poof sound followed by a cloud of smoke and the administration clerk’s gone.

The genie then looks at the manager and says, "OK Boss, I guess it’s your turn now."

"I want those two back in the office in exactly 45 minutes," the manager responds.

Moral of the story: It’s a good idea to let your boss go first.
