All of the 10 Senior Members of the Board of Directors of the Company were called into the Chairman’s office one by one until only Bob, the junior-most Member, was left sitting outside.
Finally it was his turn to be summoned.
He entered the Office to find the Chairman and the ten other Directors seated around the Board Table.
He was invited to join them, which he did.
As soon as he had sat down, the Chairman turned to Bob, looked at him squarely in the eye , and in a stern voice , asked . . .
“ Bob, have you ever slept with Mrs. Foyt, my Secretary? ”
“ Oh, no sir, positively not ” Bob replied.
“ Are you absolutely sure ?” asked the Chairman.
“ Honest, I’ve never been close enough to even touch her!”
“ You’d swear to that!”
“ Yes, I swear I’ve never slept with Mrs. Foyt anytime, anywhere!”
“ Good, then YOU FIRE HER ”
” We Can’t”
