Abe goes to see his boss and says, “We’re doing some heavy housecleaning at home tomorrow for Passover and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff.”
“We’re short-handed, Abe,” the boss replies. “Just can’t give you the day off.”
“Thanks, boss,” says Abe. “I knew I could count on you.”
