Smith goes to see his supervisor in the front office.
"Boss," he says, "we're doing some heavy
house-cleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife
needs me to help with the attic and the garage,
moving and hauling stuff."
"We're short-handed,Smith," the boss replies,
"I can't give you the day off."
"Thanks, boss," says Smith, "I knew
I could count on you!"
