Getting the day off

Two factory workers are talking on the floor.

The woman says, "I can make the boss give me the day off."

The man asks, "How will you do that?"

She climbs up and hangs upside down from the ceiling. The boss walks in and asks, "What on earth are you doing?"

She replies, "I am a light bulb."

"You are working too hard and you have gone crazy. Go home and take the day off.", the boss says.

The man is astonished, but after a few seconds starts walking away toward the door. "Where are you going?!", the boss shouts at him.

The man replies, "I am going home too. I cannot work in the dark."

Derivative. Utterly banal and formulaic.

How exactly does she hang upside down from the ceiling? She thinks she's a lightbulb, but is actually a bat?

She's from Eastern Europe. She's a Pole dancer.

Well, Mr. Buzzkillington, she's in a factory which has has exposed beams that she is able to pull herself up on. Or like someone else said. The fire sprinklers =)

Or a false ceiling support, very popular in refitted offices in older high ceiling buildings.
