This is from a Dilbert cartoon from last year. Its a conversation between an employee and the pointy-haired boss. Hope it brings a smile to you: 
Employee: I need a day off to attend my twin sister's funeral.
Boss: A WHOLE day?? How well did you know her?
Emp.: SHE...WAS...MY...TWIN.
Boss: But not identical!
Emp.: How does that matter?
Boss: Well...she didn't even look like you.
And yet you want a whole day off for a service that takes fifteen
minutes.
Emp.: GAA!! IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO BE MORE INSENSITIVE!!!!
Boss: I'll compromise. My pet gerbil is on his last legs. I'll give you the day off
if you toss him in the casket so I don't have to bury him myself.
Emp.:When do you think it will die?
Boss: Depends. How much does your sister weigh?
(My ex-boss was a lot like this.)
