How did I miss these awhile back? I have to go with #1. And the scary thing is, it may actually be based in reality—somehow.
These cartoons are funny. Sometimes in real life dealing with difficult bosses are not that funny or easy. I worked for a manager once who every employee knew he kept a loaded pistol in his top middle desk drawer. He didn’t like me. I didn’t like him. Nor was there any mutual trust. In any case for my protection, I kept a loaded revolver inside my boot to have handy each time he called me nto his office for a chewing out. If he had ever reached for that middle drawer pistol, I was ready to outdraw him. Fortunately fate (and the Good Lord) had better plans for me and I took a better position with a 50% increase in pay and a manager who was not an @$$hole. I retired from that company ten years ago. Praise God for answered prayers.
The second one, “ight-bray,” made me laugh out loud. And I needed that today. Thank you!
