The
partridge will be retained, but the pear tree never turned out to be a
cash crop as forecasted. It will be replaced by a plastic hanging
plant manufactured by under aged children in a 3rd world country to provide
a considerable savings. |

|
The two turtle doves
represent redundancy that is simply not cost-effective. In addition,
their romance during working hours could not be condoned. The positions
are therefore eliminated. |
 |
The
three French hens have been deported by the INS and will not be replaced. |
 |
|
The four calling
birds will be replaced by an automated voice mail system; thereby saving
on feed, cages and long distance charges. |
 |
The
five golden rings have been put on hold by the Board of Directors due to
the rising cost of insurance. |
 |
|
The
six geese-a-laying will be retrained to learn new skills that will therefore
enhance their output. |
 |
The
seven swans-a-swimming have been eliminated by the Director as they will
be redundant with the enhanced productivity of the six geese-a-laying. |
 |
|
As you know, the
eight maids-a-milking concept has been under heavy scrutiny by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. A male/female balance in the work
force is being sought. |
 |
The
nine ladies dancing will be phased out as these individuals grow older
and can no longer do the steps. |
 |
|
Ten lords-a-leaping
is overkill. The high cost of lords has prompted the Board to replace
this group with 10 out-of-work Congressmen. |
 |
Eleven
pipers piping is a simple case of the band getting too big. They
will be replaced with an electronic musical keyboard. |
 |
|
Yes, needless to
say, you guessed this one correctly. The 12 drummers drumming are
deemed redundant and will be replaced with the musical keyboard also. |
