"My career's in shreds, but on the bright side, so are my files."

"Wait, you're firing me?! But I was Time magazine’s Person of the Year!"

"Ralph's smart car not only drives better than he does, it also works better. So we fired him and hired the car."

"Dear, did something happen at the office?"
