The Comic Strip That Has A Finale Every Day by John "Scully" Scully for November 02, 2022

The Lucky Find

~

A New York attorney representing a wealthy art collector called and asked to speak to his client. “Saul, I have some good news and I have some bad news.”

The art collector replied, “You know, I’ve had an awful day, Jack, so let’s hear the good news first.”

The lawyer said, “Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she has invested only $5,000 in two very nice pictures that she thinks will bring somewhere between $15 and $20 million… and I think she could be right.”

Saul replied enthusiastically, “Holy cow! Well done! My wife is a brilliant business woman, isn’t she? You’ve just made my day. Now, I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?”

“The pictures are of you and your secretary.”

With a pile of 300 resumes on his desk and a need to pick someone quickly, my boss told me to make calls on 50 and toss the rest.

“Throw away 250 resumes?” I asked, shocked. “What if the best candidates are in there?”

He thought for a moment and said, “You have a point but then again, I don’t need people with bad luck around here.”

Political or not, who cares… But the comedy can be appreciated, make sure you scroll down:
