I have decided to go back to work...........

04-01-2005, 07:02 AM

A former co-worker called me a few days ago with a new venture that he has started. He made me an offer that I could not refuse. It basically doubled my previous salary, with an almost guaranteed bonus of six figures.

I told him that I would start 1 week from today, which is April 1st. Who is fooling who here?

Pllllttttt...I was waiting for one of these.

Yeah, I'm going back to work too...two light fixtures to install, two 110v outlets to replace, four ceiling fans to put the blades back onto, and a 1/3 of an acre of grass to mow...but I get paid $240,000 for doing it!!!

I'm expecting a realllly biggg bonus -- 6 - 7 - 8 - ? - ?? * figures.

Don't those bunnies come with six figures usually in 3 groups of 2?

You know, the real question here isnt about figures, its whether the bunnies have any pancakes on their heads...

I saw your new job, C-T. I was watching Jimmy Houston this a.m. That's gotta be lucrative, considering the program is a thinly disguised advertisement for fishing stuff.

One of the things he mentioned was he had a fish-feeder on his dock. Kind of like feeding the deer here in Texas. After they get used to it, killing them is fairly easy. Anyway, I think fish-feeding makes fishing easy and is cheating?
