L'ampoule

I'm a light bulb

Deux collègues discutent au bureau :
Two co-workers are talking at the office:
La femme dit, "Notre patron va me donner un jour de congé, tu vas voir."
The woman says, "I can make our boss give me the day off."
L'homme répond, "Oh, vraiment ? Et comment vas-tu t'y prendre ?"
The man replies, "Oh, really? And how would you do that?"
La femme répond, "Attends." Puis elle se suspend au plafond, la tête en bas.
The woman says, "Just wait and see." She then hangs upside-down from the ceiling.
Le patron entre et demande, "Que faites-vous ?"
The boss comes in and says, "What are you doing?"
La femme réplique, "Je suis une ampoule."
The woman replies, "I'm a light bulb."
Le patron rétorque alors, "Vous travaillez trop, je crois que vous êtes devenue folle ! Vous devez prendre un jour de repos."
The boss then says, "You've been working too much, I think you've gone crazy! You need to take the day off."
La femme quitte le bureau et l'homme rassemble ses affaires et commence à la suivre quand le patron lui demande, "Que faites-vous ?"
The woman leaves the office and the man picks his things up and starts following her when the boss says, "Where are you going?"
L'homme répond, "Je rentre aussi chez moi. Je ne peux pas travailler dans le noir."
The man says, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."
