Too Punny For Words

(I am notorious for making puns. This happens at an industry conference, and about half the office is staying in a hotel to cover the latest movie news. I have not quite woken up.)

Boss: “[My Name], wake up! The new trailer for Spiderman has just been posted, and we need to do a post about it, quick!”

Me: *still in bed* “Has [Competitor] updated their site with the trailer?”

Boss: “No, not yet.”

Me: *jumps out of bed* “Then at least we’re not TRAILING behind them!”

Boss: “You’re lucky you’re a good writer, or I’d fire you on the spot for that.”
