There I was, in my car, driving down the road, when my boss rang up and said, “We’re making you Chief Area Salesman,” and I swerved.
Ten minutes later, he called again, “You’re now Deputy Area Manager,” and I swerved again.
Another twenty minutes go by, and another phone call, “You’re now Vice Chairman,” and I swerved right off the road into a ditch.
When the police asked what had happened, I said, “I just careered off the road.”
