The Old guy was Chairman of the Board and CEO and one day decided to retire. He walked into the staff area and told one young lad "Starting Monday you're the new Chairman/CEO. What do you think of that?".
The lad said: "Unh, gee, thanks."
The old Man harrumphed and said "You started here just a week ago and you take this tremendous promotion for granted? Is that all you can say?"
The kid thought for a minute and said: "Oh, sure, yeah. Thanks, Dad"
