“A boss’s comedy is always an employee’s hardship.”

That’s effin’ profound, man.

Of course, it also brings the reverse to mind. A Swiss boss and I were doing avalanche prediction systems in the Alps. Near Davos. Late spring. He walked out onto a precipice which looked fairly mortal, and I didn’t follow. He turned and opined, “You have no head for heights, Herr Lord. Come, it’s perfectly sa–!” The crusted snow broke and he slid off the outcropping like a human tobaggan, impacting 50+ feet below, breaking both femurs, only to tumble on 30-40 yards further down the jaggies in odd pitches and rolls (collarbone, forearm, wrist, ribs) before coming to a very dead-looking rest. My first thought: “Oh, great. They’ll think I killed him.”

Heh. Yeah. I worry about the poor folks who have to endure my husband’s incessant punning, too. Oy. I, on the other hand, am genuinely hilarious and have no concerns for underlings past.

I would have taken a boss’s jokes over the family dysfunctional lunacy that shaped my former supervisor’s daily life. Great quote.
