Assistant: Boss, I have good news and bad news.

Prez: Well, it's been a rough day, so give me the good news first.

A: The good news is we just got word that Elvis Presley died.

P: Wrong. That's not good news. That's great news! We'll re-release all of his old records, have a big publicity campaign and play on the public's sympathy. We'll make more money off the son of a bitch dead than when he was alive! Woo-hoo! OK, so now what's the bad news?

A: The bad news is that Glen Miller's plane just landed and he wants his royalties.
