Mom Died

A man goes into work one morning crying his eyes out. His boss, concerned about all his employees' well being, asked sympathetically, "What's the matter?"

The man replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away."

The boss, feeling very sorry at this point, explains to the young man. "Why don't you go home for the day, we aren't terribly busy. Just take the day off to relax and rest."

The man very calmly states, "No, I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here."

The boss agrees and allows the man to work as usual. "If you need anything, just let me know."

Well, a few hours pass and the boss decides to check on him. He looks out over his office and sees the man hysterically crying!! He rushes out to him, asking, "What's so bad now. Are you gonna be ok?"

"No!" exclaims the man. "I just got a call from my sister. She told me that HER mom died too!"
