The Guy's Sick

The company hires a new man. He was supposed to start work on a Monday, but instead of showing up, he calls his boss.


"I'm sick," he says.


Boss excuses him. Man shows up Tuesday morning and works throughout the week, greatly impressing everyone with his diligence and ability.


The next Monday, he once again calls his boss. "I'm sick," he says.


Boss reluctantly excuses him, but notes that this is the second Monday in a row. Once again, the man shows up Tuesday morning and works throughout the week, even faster and better than the previous week.


The following Monday, he calls his boss again. "I'm sick."


Boss excuses him, but decides to call the man to task the next day. As soon as the man shows up, the boss calls him into his office.


"What gives?" asks the boss. "I can see you're a hard worker, but you've only been here three weeks and you've called in sick every Monday."


Man says, "Well, my sister is in a bad marriage and I go over to console her every Monday morning before work. One thing leads to another and we end up making love all day long."


"Your sister?!" says the boss. "That's disgusting!"


Man says, "Hey, I *told* you I was sick!"
