Words of Wisdom from the boss, Mr. Misrell, to his unhappy employee Gart Williams. After calling Misrell “Fatboy,” quitting his job and pouring down a bottle of Maalox to sooth his ulcerated stomach, Gart boarded the commuter train home to deliver the news to his shrewish demon of a wife. Fortunately for Gart the train made an unscheduled stop at Willoughby, a small town suspended in the 1890s, where the conductor assured him “a man can live his life full measure.” Taking a deep breath Gart exited the train and immediately transformed into a local resident, accepting an invitation from two young boys (still acceptable behavior in those days) to go fishing the next day. Gart Williams had entered Paradise; or so he thought.
While at first, dumping his job and wife was wonderful, reality soon hit him like a frozen snowbank when jumping off a speeding train. There was no air conditioning and Willoughby was hot as…well, you know; indoor plumbing was a luxury that had not yet reached the rural areas, KKK membership was mandatory and the politicians so corrupt an observer might mistake it for this year.
We’ve talked about A-Hole bosses before. Stay on the train, suck it up, and move on!
