    *Once there was a very egotistical manager.  He made all of the workers tell him how great he was every day.  When he entered the building, everyone had to stand up and salute him.  If there was a meeting, everyone had to agree and say his ideas were the best ever.  If you disagreed, he kicked you out of the room.
