A boss and two of her staff walked into the cafeteria and tripped on a bottle on the floor. Suddenly, a cloud of smoke shot out of the bottle and a genie appeared. The genie said to the three of them, “I will grant each of you one wish.”
The first employee said, “Wow! I’ve always wanted to be in a villa in Italy!” The genie snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the employee was gone.
The second employee said, “I want to go on a trip around the world!” Once again, the genie snapped his fingers and the second employee vanished.
The boss then turned to the genie and said with a scowl, “I want both those employees back after lunch.”
Moral of the Story: Always let the boss speak first
