The following is rumored to be a true story from the Amoco Petroleum Company Christmas Party in Melbourne, Australia a few years ago.
At the Staff Christmas party last year the staff decided to pull a practical joke on their boss who had a habit of playing serious practical jokes on everyone else. When he went to the toilet, they went through his wallet and found his State Lotto Ticket. Then, they wrote down his numbers and called over the waitress to set up a little prank.
She came back half an hour later and asked if anyone wanted to know the results of that night's Lotto draw, then proceeded to read his numbers out aloud, before setting the numbers on the table. The boss looked at the numbers, then casually pulled out his ticket from his wallet and compared them.
He became really silent, put his wallet back in his jacket and sat down again, and checked the numbers, very carefully. Then, he sculled his drink, stood up on his chair and shouted out to the whole room,
"I just want to let you all know something. I've been having an affair with my secretary for months. I don't like any of you, and I have hated working for this company. You can all go to Hell, cause I've just won a ####-load of money, and I'm leaving"
End of job.
End of marriage.
