Had a guy ask me for a raise 4 years ago. Went something like this.
Him: Well, is there anyway I can get a raise?
Me: What exactly are you looking for?
Him: I would like to make 15.00 an hour.
Me: I already pay you 16.00 an hour.
Him: But I have been working real hard and feel I deserve the raise.
Me: Ok, you got it. 15.00 an hour it is.
This is 100% the truth.[quote/]
This came from another thread and reminded me of something similar I saw a few years ago before a televised football game. One team sent out 1 captain for the coin toss and the other team sent out three. The solo won the toss and here's how it went:
Player: "We want to kick off." (I think he had instructions to take the wind meaning, of course, that they would end up kicking off).
Referee: "Son, you have a choice between taking the wind or the football." (He's trying to help the poor kid out here).
Player: "WE WANT TO KICK OFF!" (He thinks the referee is trying to pull a fast one on him).
The referee, without another word, turns to one of the captains of the other team who smiles and says "We'll take the wind."
