I Now Pronounce You Employed

Me: “Hello, sir, what can I get for you?”

Customer: “Hi, are you hiring?”

Me: “No, I’m sorry. This is a family-run business. Is there something you wanted to eat?”

Customer: “No. I wanted a job.”

Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but we cannot hire you. If you don’t want anything to eat, I’m going to have to ask you to leave. We are very busy today.”

(The customer leaves, frustrated. Not ten minutes later, he returns.)

Me: “Hello again, do you want something to eat now?”

(The customer gets down on one knee.)

Customer: “Will you marry me?”

Me: “Sir, please stand up.”

Customer: “Please? It’s my only hope of getting a job!”
