After the annual office party, John woke up with a headache, cotton-mouthed, and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceding evening. After a trip to the bathroom he was able to make his way downstairs, where his wife was preparing breakfast. Gina, he moaned, tell me what went on last night. Was it as bad as I think?

Even worse, she declared, her voice dripping with scorn. You made a complete jerk of yourself, succeeded in antagonizing the entire board of directors, and insulted the president of the company to his face!

Hes an jerk, piss on him.

You did, Gina informed him. And he fired you.

Well, screw him!, said John.

I did. Youre back at work on Monday!
