The Cannibals
A large corporation recently hired several cannibals. “You are all part of our team now”, said the HR rep during the welcoming briefing. You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but please, don’t eat any of the other employees”. The cannibals promised they would not.
Four weeks later their boss remarked, “You’re all working very hard and I’m satisfied with your work. However, one of our secretaries has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?”
The cannibals all shook their heads “No”.
After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, which one of you idiots ate the secretary?” A hand rose hesitantly.
“You fool!” the leader continued. “For four weeks we’ve been eating managers and no one noticed anything. But NOOO, you had to go and eat someone who actually does something!!!

My dad has been telling this joke for months now. He’s told it to me at least a half dozen times. I just smile and laugh a little. (got to humor the old fella)
Don’t talk too badly about the managers. Someone has to update those spreadsheets and attend all those conference calls or the stock price would plumet!

I love it. My girlfriend is an administrative assistant, and she says this is very true.

Hehe, I was wondering if someone would notice. Hey, I had heard all the announcements already.
