An anonymous bookseller spins a tale about the employee he inherited and later fired. Much funnier if you know the Lower Mainland; the links below should fill in the neccessary geographical context for outsiders.
BOOKSELLER: Please take the van to Victoria on the ferry and pick up a load of books.
FIRED GUY: OK!
[Tempus fugit]
PHONE: Ring!
BOOKSELLER: Hello?
FIRED GUY: I'm gonna be awhile.
BOOKSELLER: Where are you? On the island?
FIRED GUY: I haven't left the mainland yet.
BOOKSELLER: What? You left at 6 for the 9 o'clock ferry. Where are you? What's going on?
FIRED GUY: The Victoria ferry hasn't come in yet.
[Pause]
The same boat keeps arriving.
BOOKSELLER [slowly]: Where is that ferry going?
FIRED GUY: To Fort Langley. Why?
