No Fun!

The boss returned from lunch in a good mood and called the whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had picked up.

Everybody but one girl laughed uproariously.

``What's the matter?'' grumbled the boss '`Haven't you got a sense of humor?''

``I don't have to laugh,'' she said '`I'm leaving Friday.''
