Why should you be fired from your job?I spent three years "working" in the Ministry of Agriculture carefully crafting projectiles out of folded paper and drawing pins that I would then fire at colleagues with an elastic band. On discovering I'd been conducting all-out warfare when I should really have been in a field counting cows, I was asked to "reconsider my career options" outside the service.
Why, then, should you be fired from your job?

Not me but a mate.......works on the estate gangs (gardeners) for the council of a large new town in Essex. His job was riding a huge Kubota mower. He'd go in in the morning, pick it up together with the orders for the verges to mow, drive home and park it (in the unused garage of a pensioner neighbour of his girlfriend)'til half-past-four and drive it back to base. The pensioner really should have been in on the deal, because late one summer he went down to stick some furniture in the garage (in those long lines of municipal garages) and found a brand new £25,000 Kubota sit-on mower in his garage with the local council badge on the side. He phoned the Parks department and said "'Ere! I've got one of your mowers in my garage...." At that point the shit hit the fan, but incredibly matey got off with a warning because sacking him might have drawn the attention of the top bosses to the fact that when it doesn't rain the grass doesn't grow and the whole department's work should really be done by outside contractors as and when required.
