Four cannibals apply for jobs in a big corporation. The manager is impressed with their credentials, and makes them promise not to eat anyone if he hires them.
The cannibals agree and get hired.
Everything is going well for a while, but one day the boss calls them into his office.
“You’re working well and all, but we’re missing a janitor. Do you have something to do with that?”
The cannibals swear that they are innocent.
The boss believes them and leaves the office. Their leader turns to his team and glowers at them.
“You idiots!” he screams. “Who ate the cleaner?”
One of the cannibals sheepishly raises his hand.
“You fool!” shouts the leader.
“For weeks we’ve been feasting on directors, team leaders, project managers, and human resource staff, and now you go and eat someone they’ll actually miss!”
