Peter: hi Bob. I was just in the neighborhood so I thought I'd stop by.
Bob: come on in. take a cookie.
Peter: thanks. I'm glad you have no hard feelings. How would you like your old job back?
Bob: what happened to your wonderful new manager?
Peter: she drank at work. By five o'clock, she'd be lying under a dining room table, three sheets to the wind. Yesterday, I finally got rid of her.
Bob: let me get this straight. You replaced me with some crazy woman who got plastered every day on the job?
Peter: yeah, I lost my head.
Bob: I don't think you lost your head. I just think you've got rocks in your head!
Peter: Bob, I'm trying to level with you. I never should've let you go.
Bob: no use crying over spite milk.
Peter: so you'll come back and work for me?
Bob: not on your life! Susan and I are very well off now. we just sold our new company for a small fortune!
