On the day before his retirement, a construction worker sat
with his supervisor at lunch.
"Last day, huh?" asked the supervisor. "Are
you looking forward to retirement?"
"Let me put it like this," said the construction
worker. "The most miserable existence I can imagine is spending years,
constantly performing manual labor, under the direction of a tyrannical
overlord."
"Wow," said the supervisor. "I didn't realize
I was making your life so miserable. In fact, I thought you liked this
job."
"I do like this job. I was talking about my wife's
plans for my retirement."
