“let’s get pushy”
A man walks into a bar, clearly distraught. His tie is slackened and his shirt is a wrinkled mess. The man has eyes of a raccoon and the body language of a wet blanket.
“Whiskey, make it a double.” He tells the bartender.
“Hell, I may make it a triple for you. Everything okay buddy?” The bartender asks.
“Not really,” Replies the man “I’ve been having a very bad time at work these last couple of days.”
“Oh? Pray tell.” Says the bartender.
“Well, it all started last week when we hired this new fella. Everything was fine for the entire work day. Then, at the end, he comes up to me somewhat aggressively and says ‘You wanna get pushy with me?’ I couldn’t understand what made him think I was being pushy with him. All I did the entire day was be nice to him and show him the ropes.”
“Hmm. Sounds strange. Maybe he just mistook you for someone else who was being an ass to him that day?” The bartender suggests.
“See, I thought that too!” The man exclaims. “But then it happened again the next day. I made sure to be EXTRA NICE to the guy, I even offered to file some of his paperwork. Then, again, after work was finished he ran up to me and said ‘What’s the matter? I thought you’d wanna get pushy with me!’ After that, I ran to my car and sped back home.”
“Very odd” replies the bartender “Anything happen the day after that?”
“Ugh. Yes.” The man cries. “The next day, I avoided the new guy at all costs. When it was time to go home, I did my best to leave as quietly and swiftly as possible. But then, the fucking new guy comes up me outta nowhere and says ‘Martin from finance got pushy what me. Did you see what happened to him?’ Martin didn’t show up in the office that day. I’m worried that this new guy did something to him! After he told me this, I hauled ass to the car and went home.”
“Geez!” The bartender replied. “This sounds like a serious problem. This guy is really lookin for a fight. Maybe tell HR about this?”
“I’m thinking about it. But I’m not- oh shit”
All of a sudden, the man’s new coworker walks in the bar.
“So!” His coworker says to the man. “You ready to get pushy with me?”
The man is trembling in fear, when all of a sudden, the bartender lets out a howling cackle.
“What’s so damn funny??” The man demands of the bartender.
“You idiot!” The bartender says. “That’s Sean Connery!”
