My brother told me this. True story:
My brother's friend John just got a high school job at Stop & Shop. On his first day, one of the coworker Mark told him that he should try to win some brownie points for his boss. Mark says the boss' little daughter just won a ballet contest and he suggests John should approach the boss and congratulate him.
So John decides to do so and goes up to the boss and says, "Hey I heard your daughter just won a ballet contest. Congratulations!" The boss immediately stopped whatever he was doing and gave John the coldest stare for a moment. He then said, "What makes you say that?" John was bit thrown off at this sudden seriousness and started to fidget. Then the boss said, "My daughter is paraplegic."
John didn't know what to do.....
Turns out Mark and all the employees INCLUDING the boss was all in on the joke. :laugh:
