A man went in to see his boss. “Boss,” he said, “we’re doing some heavy house cleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with clearing stuff out of the attic, the shed and the garage, and with scrubbing down all the kitchen cupboards.”

“I’m sorry,” said the boss, “but we’re short-handed at the moment. There’s no way I can give you a day off.”

“Thanks, boss. I knew I could rely on you!”
