Ask for a Job Description

"What would the job involve?" you ask.

"Good question," replies the old man. He turns around and shouts, "Ryan, would you come here a minute? Or Brian, or whatever your name is."

To your astonishment, a grey cat wearing a t-shirt and shorts appears. "This here's my stockboy," the old man explains. He throws Ryan a sardine, and Ryan gobbles it up in a flash, smiling to himself. "Tell this young man about our sales division," the old man instructs him.
