A Death in the Family

A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss, always concerned about his employees' well-being, asks what is wrong.

"Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had just passed away."

The boss implores her to take the rest of the day off. "We aren't terribly busy -- just go home and try to relax."

Calmly, the blonde says, "No, I'm better off here. I need a distraction, so I'd like to stay here if you don't mind."

The boss agrees. "If you need anything, just let me know."

A few hours pass, and the boss decides to check on his employee. He comes out from his office and sees the blonde hysterically crying!

"What happened? Are you going to be OK?"

"No..." the blonde whimpered, "I just received a horrible call from my sister and she said that her mom died, too!"
