An Italian guy, a Polish guy, and a Japanese guy all apply for a job at an office.

The manager hires all three and tells the Italian, "Ok, you take care of the inventory". Tells the Polish guy, "You take care of accounting" and tells the Japanese guy, "You take care of supplies."


The manager comes back after an hour and sees the Italian guy and the Polish guy working, but he can't find the Japanese guy anywhere. So all of them start looking for him.


After hours of searching, they still can't find him so they give up and turn to go home for the evening when suddenly, the Japanese guy jumps out of nowhere and screams "SUPPLIES!!!!"

excuse-moi

Comme il faut, первый летний пост.
Тяжело иметь канал и не говорить о личном, но музыка для меня всегда про думки о своем.
Вот вам один альбом, который очень скрасил мои размышления на залитых солнцем переулках Москвы.
Наивный поп из девяностых со смешным треком на ломаном французском, который очаровал меня своей детской искренностью.
Особенно советую ~seventeen~ !
