I've got an interview tomorrow to become the boss at Old McDonald's Farm.

setup: I’ve got an interview tomorrow to become the boss at Old McDonald’s Farm.

[BILL] qua McDonald, farmer, visionary Welcome to this quarter’s town hall at Old McDonald’s Farm!

((Collection of farm animals in audience quiet down))

[BILL] showing a slide from the deck, projected on red barn door So, I know what’s on everyone’s mind: the upcoming merger with Foster Farms. As you know, Foster has purchased Old McDonald’s, but we’re just two families coming togethe…

[Manyfeek] qua chicken, wearing plaid shirt, standing Sorry to interrupt, [BILL], but I’m very concerned here.

[BILL] stopping, cups hand over eyes to see [Manyfeek] I’m sorry, but we’ll take questions at the end.

[Manyfeek] undeterred No, this can’t wait. My understanding is that Foster’s is a meat packing company. Can you confirm, please?

[BILL] head tilted So, we don’t like the term “meat packing” and if you really think about it, every farm is a “meat packing company”. We prefer “flesh folding”.

[Manyfeek] Whose flesh is getting “folded” at Foster’s?

[BILL] annoyed Can we parking lot that for now? You and I can touch base later.

(([Manyfeek] sits down with a scowl))

[BILL] continues Now, as you know Foster’s already has a CEO, but I’ve been added to the senior leadership team as Chief Integrated Ecosystem Innovation Officer or CIEIO…

punchline: It’s for the position of CIEIO.
