“I hear the company you work for is run on clichés.”
“Yes, like clockwork.”
“Can you give me an example?”
“Well, when the head honcho quit, he left big shoes to fill.”
“So?”
“Members of the Board of Directors are looking for a replacement. They’ve scheduled an interview with Sasquatch.”
John H. Dromey hopes he’s not a walking, talking cliché. To avoid giving that impression, he spends a lot of time sitting down.

Hilarious!!!
I had to look up Sasquatch. Ha ha. Very appropriate.
A kind of yeti. Of course his shoe is so big and needed a similar creature to fill it. The board isn’t performing badly.
I enjoyed your humor…
Thanks, Eliza. I appreciate getting positive comments.
I enjoyed the clever take. And it took me back to my childhood in Canada. Thank you.
Short, witty and made me spew coffee from laughing. Thanks!
Personally, I always avoid clichés like the plague!
Thanks, JD. That’s a really clever way to drive home the point of my story. I’d say you struck the nail on the cranium with that remark.
