The boss called one of his employees into the

office.

“Rob,” he said, “you’ve been with the company for
a year. You
started off in the post room, one week later you were
promoted to a sales
position, and one month after that you were
promoted to district manager
of the sales department.

“Just
four short months later, you were promoted to vice-chairman. Now
it’s
time for me to retire, and I want you to take over the company.

“What do you say to that?”

“Thanks,” said the employee.

“Thanks?” the boss replied. “Is that all you can say?”

“I
suppose not,” the employee said.

“Thanks, Dad.”
