We all wrote using this picture prompt for the week.

                                                                           “You’re fired!”

“Excuse me, what are you saying,” I said.

 “I said you’re fired.   F-I-R-E-D!   Fired!”

“Well, d’oh.  I know how to spell ‘fired’ “.  

 “What part of ‘conservative’ didn’t you understand?  What part of ‘sentimental’ marketing DIDN’T you get?”

“Well, d’oh.  I did what you said, Boss!”

“You didn’t!   You’re fired!   Get out!”

 “You told me to make an ad campaign for Visine.   Right?  You said, ‘Make it catchy’!   Right?   How can the customer NOT love this idea!” I retorted in self-defense.

 “Just get out!  An upside down vampire picture with ‘Get The Red out!’? I repeat, you’re fired!“
