On the Vagueness of English
The Boss was in a quandary. He had to fire somebody. He had it narrowed down to one of two people, Debra or Jack.
It was an impossible decision; they were both super workers. Rather than flip a coin, he decided he would fire the first one who used the water cooler the next morning.
Debra came in the next morning with a horrible hang-over after partying all night. She went to the cooler to take an aspirin. The Boss approached her and said, "Debra, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off."
"Could you jack off?" she said. "I feel like $#!+."
