Finally the boss is old enough to retire from the company. On his last day of work, he ordered a farewell party for himself. The boss desired everyone to express their good feeling about him by writing on the farewell card, so later he would remember how his staff “misses" him.

Most people wrote standard phrases like, "Without you, the company will never be the same,"

"We will always miss you," etc.

The boss was not satisfied. "I need something from the bottom of your heart, something really touching, you know. Okay, Mr. Bill, you have been working with me for the last 20 years. You are my best staff. I am retiring now. What do you have to say?"

Slowly but firmly, Bill wrote, "FINALLY THE BEST NEWS IN 20 YEARS."
