Tales of Idiotic Boss (Part 26)

Mr. Baker was in delivering a corporate briefing to a group of students from University Technology of Malawi. As usual he started of with brief introduction and moved on towards the serious part. After 5 minutes, Baker realised that the students were getting sleepy.

At that moment, he pulled out one of his classic joke to "wake" the students....

Mr. Baker: I realised that most of you are maybe a bit sleepy. Let me tell you about one funny experience of mine working in this company.

Students: Ok...

Mr. Baker: 5 years ago, XYZ Plc.'s office was in an old and small complex. One day I saw a box of colourful round shaped objects in front of my door. I was thinking to myself "Who put a box of candies in front of my door? Looks nice.."

Suddenly, before Mr. Baker can continue further..... one hand raised high among the group....

Mr. Vash: Mr. Baker, can we focus on the original presentation aa? You know, the time is limited... just go into the facts la... (Note: it's just only 5 minutes into the presentation)

Everybody else was shocked and there were a sign of awkwardness among the lecturers and students.

Mr. Baker: So now what? Can i continue my joke or what?

Mr. Vash: Ermmm... ahhh.. ehhh.... please continue.. please continue...


MORAL OF THE JOKE
  1. Never ever humiliate your subordinate in front of other guests.
  2. You can send a small note and pass it to the presenter.
  3. Don't be an idiot (must I repeat this for every posts? I think I should. It's Idioticboss.blogspot anyway. ;p)
