A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends.

We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting, so would you please pack me enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box.

We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up.

Oh! And please pack my new blue silk pajamas."

The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but being a good wife she does exactly what her husband asked.

The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking good.

The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish.

He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleye, some Blue gill, and a few Pike.

But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?"

The wife replies; "I did, they were in your tackle box."

        

But, but my dear my boss ask us to use his tackle boxes and I did not went to upset him.   Remember I went there to impress him not make him mad, so I left my tackle box in the car.

LOL! I thought: Dear, they supplied all the gear and tackle, made my crap look like a beginners tackle box.
How could I possibly use mine, they would have ridiculed the new employee.

No when you have 350 people work under you for 36 years you hear the all.   

The one I had a hard time with was a wife calling on a Saturday.  Her husband said he had to work overtime on swing shift and graveyard shift. (pulling a double shift)  She needed to talk to him.  I don't cover for people, I told her right out he was not working.
