Long Speech

Posted By admin in At Work

A CEO was scheduled to speak at an important convention so he asked one of his employees, Jenkins, to write him a tight, 20-minute speech. When the CEO returned from the big event, he was furious.

“What’s the idea in writing me an hour-long speech?” he demanded. “Half the audience walked out before I finished.”

Jenkins was baffled. “I wrote you a 20-minute speech,” he replied. “I also gave you the two extra copies you asked for.”
