SackedI've never been sacked (yet)... One company I worked for made everyone redundant on Valentine's Day. The boss handed out little envelopes. We all thought he'd bought us cards and were really touched.
...but I've never been sacked. What have you done that led to your dismissal? Are you still bitter, or was it a fair cop?

Sacked SchmackedI got sacked from a market stall years ago.
We sold infections, diseases and the like, all a bit hush hush to be honest but it was a very popular stall.
One day i was trying to sell a cute old lady some varicose veins and a dose of the clap when a rather irate man stormed to the front of the patiently waiting queue and demanded to see the manager.
Apparently i'd sold him the wrong cancer the week before!!
He'd been after a small dose of lung cancer in an attempt to gain sympathy from his estranged family, plus get signed off work whilst waiting for the op to have a lung removed.
Well in my haste to make a decent commission (cancers carry a premium commision you know) i must have bagged up stomach cancer, which meant the poor bastard now had only 2 weeks of agonising life to live before dying miserably.
Despite a previously unblemished sales record and being the all time record holder of the sales of urinary infections i was fired.
An injustice i'm sure you'll agree.
As i left i robbed some whooping cough and a brain tumour. hehe.
