I delivered at a place last week, and when I got there, there was a short guy giving a number of the employees a "pep-talk". I mean, this guy was very obviously a "person of restricted growth". He wasn't cracking any jokes, and was basically "chewing *****". He was talking about how, when the load arrives, they all have to get right on it and make up the orders to go out. "Absolutely no time to waste".

Don't ask me why, but it simply rolled off the tongue. "Let's see... You would be either Grumpy or Grouchy... How's Cinderella doing lately. I haven't heard anything about her in quite a while"...

He turned toward me, shook his finger at me, and said "YOU'RE FIRED!!!"

Then, he found out I was the driver delivering the load he was just talking about. I cracked a few more jokes while they were unloading, and he does actually have a sense of humor. He also owned the company...

Ohhhhhhhhhh.

The Seven Dwarfs. Ok.

Well, I read Mr. Ford's reply, and I thought, "what's so funny about hitting a minivan?" but after I read everyone else's replies, I got it. :thumbsup:

I got a good laugh out of that. Not as good as the employees I'm sure. You probably made their month.
