Psychopath
The girls in accounts are crying.
They returned from lunch to find the end of month statements shredded and scattered across their department like confetti.
Divisional manager Mr. Yale was vetting the statements, when he thought he saw a mistake. He took punitive action instantly.
The following week, statements reprinted, the girls sit with Mr. Yale to check any error he may find.
There is no sign of a mistake.
Apart from the statements going out late, it is a most enjoyable month for Mr. Yale.
Satisfied with his bonus, he savors the delicious memory of making the girls cry.
