The Truth About Bosses…

I’m very bored at work today.  I have nothing to do today.  I’ve read all my comics.  I’ve made my rounds to the message boards.  Played a few games.  I got nothin’ left.  Tomorrow will be busy as hell, but today….nothin’.  So!  I thought I would tell an amusing little story my dad told me about 10 years ago.  Kinda humorous, mostly stupid, but it’ll pass the time… 

When God was first creating Man, He put all the body parts together and then said, "I will leave it to you to decide who will be in charge of this body.  You alone shall command everyone else and they shall do your bidding."

The first one to pipe up was the brain.  "I should be in charge!  After all, I’m the smartest, and I got this skull surrounding me to keep me safe."

"NO!  We should be boss," said the arms.  "We bring food to the body and keep everyone alive."

"In that case I should be boss," said the mouth.  "If it weren’t for me, you’d all die!"

Everyone started shouting at each other, trying to make it clear as to why they should be in charge of the entire body.  After hours and hours of arguing, everyone decided to let the brain become the boss of the body.  Very faintly, a voice could be heard.

"Excuse me, but I think I would like to be boss."

"Who said that," said the brain.

"It’s me.  The rectum."

Everyone roared with laughter.  "You can’t be boss!  You don’t do anything!"

"You better make me boss or you’ll be sorry," said the rectum.

"Go ahead, then," said the brain.  "What could you possibly do to hurt any of us?"  With that, everyone burst into laughter again.  Frustrated at being laughed at, the rectum clenched very tight and wouldn’t let up. 

After 2 days of this, the brain told the rectum, "You better stop that!  You’ll wind up killing us all if you don’t get rid of all that shit that’s backing up!"

"Let me be boss."

"Never!" yelled the brain.  Everyone was crying with agony, pleading with the rectum to let up.  But the rectum wouldn’t.  After a week, everyone gave in.  "Okay, okay, you win!  You can be boss!!"

There are two morals to this story.  One, the boss is always the asshole.  Two, until the boss gets what he wants, everyone else will have to put up with a lot of shit.
