The Promotion2008

[During the motivational retreat, the employees form a circle around the retreat leader. They are instructed to place paper bags over their heads]

Retreat Leader:
I want you to take off one thing that you don't need... quickly! Come on.

[Everyone takes off their paper bags, except Richard, who removes his watch. They all stare at Richard, who still has his paper bag over his head]

Retreat Leader:
Let's take something else off that you really don't need... right away!

[Richard takes off his shoes as some of the employees begin to laugh]

Retreat Leader:
Something else you don't need, let's make it happen. Come on!

[Richard removes his belt while the employees continue to laugh]

Retreat Leader:
Something else you don't need. Come on, let's go. Something completely unnecessary.

[Richard turns to his right]

Richard:
Doug, can we take our sack off?

Doug Stauber:
What?

[Everyone bursts in laughter]

Richard:
Did you take your sack off?

Doug Stauber:
I can't really hear you.

Retreat Leader:
If you could take off one more thing you simply do not need. Do it!

Richard:
[whispers] F***!

[Richard removes his shirt, revealing a tattoo of the band KISS on his chest, to the delight of everyone else]

Retreat Leader:
Okay, uhhh... all right, everybody that still has a bag on top of their heads, scream, 'My concentration skills need improvement.' One, two, three.

Richard:
My concentration skills need improvement!

[Everyone bursts into laughter]
