Assistant Bookkeeper Fired Over Ladder Etiquette Tale
A New York Truth item recounts a humorous office scene where an assistant bookkeeper is dismissed after a chain of etiquette driven requests involving a stairway ladder. The exchange mocks formal propriety as clerks relay orders through proper channels, ending with the decision to dispense with the assistant. A second item from New York Prowns comments on social satire and jokes about courtship and manners appear in Bachelor Thoughts.
