Sam walks into his boss’s office and says, ‘Sir, I’ll be straight with you, I know the economy isn’t great, but I have over three companies after me, and I would like to respectfully ask for a raise.’

After a few minutes of haggling the boss finally agrees to a 5% raise, and Sam happily gets up to leave.

‘By the way,’ asks the boss, ‘Which three companies are after you?’

Sam answers, ‘The electric company, water company, and phone company!’
