Joke

** *A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.

* ** *The ghost says: Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each”

* ** *So the eager senior manager shouted, I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries. “Pfufffff and he was gone.

 * ** *Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted “I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails.”Pfufffff and he was also gone.

* ** *The boss calmly said, “I want these two idiots back right now .” Pfuffff ….:p

* ** *Lesson :- ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSSES TO SPEAK FIRST
