An 8-foot Fluourescent Light In A New York City Office Burned Out, And The Big Boss Said, `Fix It'.

An 8-foot fluourescent light in a New York City office burned out, and
the Big Boss said, `Fix it'. Naturally the job fell to the low man on the
T.P., who obtained a new one and replaced the burned-out one without too
much trouble. All he had to do now was throw out the old one.

He took it out into the alley and tossed it in a dumpster. One of the
building's janitors saw him and said, `You can't put that there. There's
poisonous stuff in it and it's against the law.' He tried to sneak it into
somebody else's dumpster but didn't get away with it.

So, pretty soon he was walking down the sidewalk with a burned-out 8-foot
fluourescent tube in one hand wondering how the hell he could get rid of it.
It wouldn't fit in a trash can and after the `poisonous' warning he wasn't
about to break it. Finally he got on a subway to try and find a dump.

Picture a New York subway. How do you carry an 8-foot-long glass tube on
the subway? You stand it on end and hold onto it. Pretty soon somebody else
grabbed on, and presently there were four or five people holding onto the
light. The man thought about it for a minute and....got off at the next stop!

As far as anybody knows that light tube is still on the subway somewhere.
