Always allow the bosses to speak first

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp.They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally,one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each".
So the eager Junior manager shouted, I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas , on a fast boat and have no worries."Pfufffff, and he has gone.

Now the Senior manager could not keep quiet and shouted " I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails."Pfufffff, and he has also gone.

The boss calmly said," I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 1.30pm"
Moral of the story is: "Always allow the bosses to speak first"
