One Day when i was opening the incoming mail i came upon an envelope containing a slim Book addressed to the Boss. It was entitled the causes and Cureo impotency. Feeling that he might be embarrassed to know i had seen it i dropped the Book in the wastepaper Basket and decided to say nothing about it.
