Calories and the U.S. Stock Market

It is 4.30pm.

As if on cue, my stomach started rumbling. What this mean is, my boss's stomach is probably doing no better.

So I stuck my head in his room to ask whether he wants me to get us both his favourite Jolly Bean Peanut Pancake.

He looked up from his pile of papers thoughtfully.

I figured maybe he didn't quite hear me so I repeated myself.

Boss: Yar, yar, I heard you.
Frou: And your answer is.....?
Boss: I'm thinking, I'm thinking. And I think I have exhausted my calorie limit for today already.
Frou: Why are we counting calories?
Boss: Don't you know how much you eat a day?
Frou: I do, but I don't know in terms of calories.
Boss: It's simple, there is this chart.....
Frou: SO, do you want a Jollybean Peanut Pancake or not?
Boss: I do but.....
Frou: .........
Boss: I'm coming with you.
Frou: No need lar. I can run down and get for the both of us.
Boss: I need the walk. Then I can free up more calorie space.
Frou: ...........
Boss: What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to walk next to your boss?
Frou: Never!
Boss: Good answer. Now let me just grab some coins....
Frou: Why are we reduced to counting coins?
Boss: Because the U.S Stock market crashed on me.
Frou: Counting calories and coins....
Boss: Yeah, it's a tough life.
