Christmas "Bonus"

Each year the company I work for offers you the choice of a turkey, ham or roast and $50 as a Christmas gift to its employees. Sometime in November, the list circulates, and everybody signs up for the meat they want (I elected to get a turkey). The last work day before the Christmas holiday, the meat and a $50 gift certificate are distributed to each employee. As a new employee, I decided, it was best to wait until the end of the day to pick up my gifts. As I was leaving, I stopped off to get my turkey and $50. Well, I was informed that they had run out of turkey. My options were as follows: ham, roast or $25. I took the $25. Thanks for the great gift!
