A young executive was leaving the office at 6 PM when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. "Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document and my secretary has left. 

Can you make this thing work?" 

Certainly, Sir" said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. 

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy." 

Moral of the Story: Never, never assume that your BOSS knows everything.

Good one. That cracked me up. This is probably even more relevant now when millennials are more adept at new technologies and tools.
