Goodbyes Pillows

Goodbyes are never easy. I used to believe that too.

"If nothing else needs welding, Paula, I'm going to lunch."

'I hate leaving work when I feel I could have delegated more.'

Do Not Resuscitate

'So it's with a heavy heart that I leave you good people of St. Paul's and accept the calling to be minister at the Sunnydell Nudist Colony...'

"Ron didn't realise he was so popular."

'Let's send her a text message; 'You're FIRED!''

"Looks like our days at the think tank are numbered."

'Clear out your desk, Randy. ...NEXT!'

"Hey, just wanted to say bye again, guys, I'm off to join the circus."

"That's not a progress chart, that's the bosses salary chart!"

"Be afraid to try new things!"

Best Scapegoat

"Goodbye, Cruikshank. We leave you to contemplate the wisdom of messing with big dog!"

"We end our Newscast with a happy story tonight."

"He reports to Grand Central Palace tomorrow."

'Yeah, he was a good boss, and we'll miss him. Somebody kick his briefcase down there, too.'

"And watch out for the boss,he has a habit of creeping up on you."

Brilliant suggestion Kimble, to get rid of all the deadwood around here - we'll miss you.

"I know, boy—I miss the smoked salmon at Zabar's, too."

The Month of August

"Hate to see you leave—you were my favorite puppet."

"Just go ahead. It's my last day here and I hate this place."

Sunrise and Sunset

'Now that the price of gold is up, we'd like to have your retirement watch back, Boggs.'

'All right, so you've prepared your resignation . . . let me have it!'

'And, lastly, I'd like to thank Chuck for his years of service. He'll be leaving the company next month to spend more time with his cash and cash equivalents.'

Your talk of promptness seems to have worked - everybody was out of here by one minute after five.

'Well at least they afforded me the courtesy of not using email,'

"It's my resignation in the form of a graphic novel."

'You're fired. The test results came back and you tested positive for crack.'

"Hope you don't mind—it was his last request."

'I'm sorry, Buzzy, but we're downsizing the hive...'

'Darling, this is my ex. You know, the one I said you were twice the man of.'

'As part of our severance package, you're allowed to take three smacks at this blow-up doll of the company CEO.'
