new folks at work

so i walk into my favorite bar and grill and see there's a new bartender.

"what happened to joe, the regular bartender?" i ask mel, the owner and proprietor, because joe usually is working then shift when i come in.

mel says, "i fired him."

i ask, "why?"

he says, "he kept fucking the popcorn popper."

i reply, "DAMN! that's gotta hurt!"

i drink my beer, then order a new one.

then i ask mel, "hey, what happened to the popcorn popper?"

he says, "i had to fire her, too, because she was fucking joe."
