Smith goes to see his supervisor in the front office. “Boss,” he says,
“we’re doing a lot of house-cleaning at my house tomorrow, and my wife
needs me to help with the attic and the garage; moving and hauling
stuff.”
“We’re short-handed, Smith.” the boss replies. “I can’t give you the
day off.”
“Thanks, boss,” says Smith “I knew I could count on you!”
