Shorthanded Goal

Morty Himmelman went to see his supervisor. "Boss," he said, "we're doing some heavy housecleaning at home tomorrow, and Shirley asked me for some help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff."

"We're shorthanded," the boss replied. "I can't give you the day off."

"Thank you," said Himmelman. "I knew I could count on you!"
