-LETTER FROM THE BOSS

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.

But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I did not know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lot and found six "Obama" bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I cannot think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change, I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of your at the annual company picnic.
