At a Christmas party in Melbourne last year the staff
decided to pull a joke on their boss who had a habit of
playing serious practical jokes on everyone else. When he
went to the toilet they went through his wallet and found
his Tatts Lotto ticket.
Then they wrote down his numbers and called over the
waitress to set up a little prank. She came back half an
hour later and asked if anyone wanted to know the night's
Lotto numbers, then proceeded to read them out (you can
guess that he had picked the lot - including the
supplementary!), and left the numbers on the table.
The boss looked at the numbers, then casually pulled out
his wallet and compared them. He became really silent, put
his wallet back in his jacket and sat down again breathing
really rapidly, and looking totally blown away. After a
couple of minutes he pulled out his wallet and Lotto
ticket, and checked the numbers again very carefully. Then
he sculled his drink, stood up on his chair and shouted out
to the whole room,
"I just want to let you all know something. I've been
having an affair with my secretary for months. I don't like
any of you, and I have hated working for this company. You
can all go to Hell, 'cos I've just won a shit-load of
money, and I'm leaving...!"
End of job. End of marriage. End of story.
