Lucy: Hey Jeff, can I pick your brain for a minute?Jeff: Sure, what's up? Lucy: Well, I have a sticky situation at work and I wanted to get your input. You're always so tactful .Jeff: Thanks. I'm not sure I can help but I'll give you my two cents.Lucy: Well, it's like this. There's this guy I work with who is always making jokes about the boss. Don't get me wrong. I like a good joke now and then, especially about the boss. But, sometimes he goes too far. Jeff. What do you mean? Lucy: Well, just the other day, he got a picture off the Internet and cut and pasted the boss’s head onto it. Let's just say it was a very unflattering picture of him. Jeff: Hmm. That's really unprofessional, but it sounds harmless enough, if he kept it to himself or just showed it to a few friends.Lucy: That's just it. He didn't keep it to himself. He attached the picture to an email and sent it to the entire company, including the top brass. Jeff: You're joking, right?Lucy: No, I'm not. This is what I mean when I said he goes too far. He just doesn't know when to quit.Jeff: Is he a friend of yours?Lucy: No, not really. But, I don't want the guy to get fired. He's actually a good person. He's just clueless, that's all.Jeff: Well, that's a tough one. Let me think about it. Maybe there's a way to get him to cut it out before he gets fired. Lucy: Thanks. I appreciate it. Jeff: Oh, it's no big deal. Let's go get a bite to eat. Lucy: Sure. Sounds good to me. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
