Comic Transcripts

[[An EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE.]]
EMPLOYER: I’m sorry that it’s come to this, but frankly, you’ve left me no choice. There are really only two options for you: you can offer your RESIGNATION, effective immediately — or you will be TERMINATED WITH CAUSE.

[[Wider shot of EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE. We see the EMPLOYER is quite tall and dignified, and the EMPLOYEE is short and squat.]]
EMPLOYEE: What about the third option?
EMPLOYER: Which one’s that?

EMPLOYEE: The one where you buy me ice cream and give me a backrub and a raise, and I don’t key your car on the way out.
EMPLOYER: I think you eliminated THAT option when you keyed my car on your way in.
