His first task was to go out for coffee.
Eager to do well his first day on the job, he grabbed a thermos and hurried to a nearby coffee shop.
Fred held up the thermos and the coffee shop worker quickly came over to take his order.
-‘Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?’–Fred asked.
The coffee shop worker looked at the thermos, hesitated a few seconds then finally replied, -‘Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me.’
-‘Oh good!’ Fred sighed in relief.
