Adieu.

A dim-wit, who ha(d)s not endeared himself to enter into anybody’s good books, was asked to give his opinion on farewell parties (You see even persons not liked by many will have a few colleagues).

Not to disappoint them, the dim-wit said “Personally I hate those parties. However I would like to be given one”

His friends were taken aback.

Then he, with his characteristic bluntness replied “At least I would get to hear a few good words about me. That is why I like to be given a farewell party”

His friends are still debating whether to arrange one or not.

[The narrative though set in a specific environment, could have taken place at any month, in any organisation. This setting helps the reader spin their own yarn :) ]
