    Two workers offed by boss after asking for pay raise

    My first thought was that JRC or CNHI had somehow entered the car business ...

    That would make a good Blondie cartoon. Dagwood asks Mr. Dithers for a raise and is offed.

    Hey, um, boss? If you're reading this? I'm good on the pay thing. Thanks.

    I'm never asking for a raise again! Not worth the risk!

    In fact, I think I might be getting paid too much.

    Guess I better be heavy the next time I ask for a little extra green.

    Ha! That just made me laugh. Maybe it will work for Shady Quinn too.

    I think this is a pretty good reason for a union

    Nah. For collective bargaining, the boss brings a machine gun.

    Whew. I'm glad we have a set-in-stone pay scale.

    Hell, my bosses carry machine guns and drive tanks and shit.
