| Quick thinking! Hope he was not working in a government building, otherwise he would probably be fired for violation of the separation of church and state, and/or be sued by some pinhead lawyer for the ACLU. |

| If he said that, it could also mean he really didn't want the job so when he fired him he meant, "YAY", but then the boss thought he didn't want the job and wanted him to suffer so made him keep the job. Atleast that's what I was thinking.  |

| no offence or anything, but the answer could have been a lot of things. why couldnt it have been "pretending" or "undercover" or something to lead the boss to believe that at LEAST this time, the guardman was only pretending, for by then he must have had a reputation for sleepign on the job. sorry, but there are just too many loopholes  keep tryin though |
cherrie0110
Jan 14, 2005
| i thought the answer made sence. but what if the guard or the boss was buddist? Then would the out come of the teaser be tha same?There could be alot of different answers to this one and if u want the ppl to get the teaser u might want to submit one with a limited amount of answers. |

| Got me, good one. I got lazy and only tried for a minute, though.
I know it was posted a year ago, but how does "pretending" and "undercover" help? I'm rolling on the floor. Maybe "goobly-gook" or "elephant" works, too. Thanks for cracking me up. |

| Happy BD to you lindquist 25. And after looking at the year dates I see Riki was new to us about a year ago. Welcome and happy anniversary. Great teaser even if the ACLU will probably file charges. May I never need their help because they really rub me the wrong way. I like my freedom to worship my Lord. LOL to all. |

shawneeo
Jan 14, 2006
| Yea! I got it!!! I think the fact that his chin was on his hands, elbows on desk, that he said one word and then looked up, and the boss apologizing all made the answer the only right one. Since it was the boss, he would have known if there was undercover work going on, and wouldn't apologize profulsely if the guard claimed to be "pretending".
Of course, I may be biased because I got it right, yea again! Thanks! |

| This is an older teaser, but it is fun to try to analyze and to figure out the answer. Terrific job of wording and phrasing. Just be aware of the bosses who may use cameras and soft audio equipment. They may not be as forgiving as this employer. (Comment NOT meant to harm teaser, BTW! Although, the employer would only need to record the sleeping, for proof) |

| how about "holiday" or "night-off". The question did not mention that it was work night. If that were the case, the boss must apologize. Hehe! In many jobs, you are not allowed to pray during working hours.
However, good teaser overall. |

| Yet another recycled "Teaser of the Day" Looking at the dates of the flurry of comments that occur on this teaser it is easy to see it was TOTD on January14, 2006, 2007,2010 and now again in 2013. I have never seen this one myself but I know there are a lot of long time users who have now seen it at least 4 times. There are thousands of other teasers to choose from, is there really a need to reuse the same ones over and over again? |
