I'm the boss

    The boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn't getting any respect.
    Later that morning he went to a local card and novelty¹ shop and bought a small sign that read, "I'm the Boss".  He then taped it to his office door.
    Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said.  "Your wife called, she wants her sign back!"
