This is a question The Boss

My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

Bruce Springsteen jokes = Ban, ridicule

I took advantage of my boss' kind heart and gullible nature.
Whenever he asked me to do something I would pretend I didn't quite understand, until he eventually gave up and showed me how to do it. As he was doing it he'd say things like "See? This is how it's done... do you get it now?" And I'd put my finger to my mouth in a comical fashion and go "uhhh I think so..."
We would both keep this up until he'd finished the task at hand.

Brilliant. I never worked a day.

Length? Depended on the job, but sometimes it would go on for hours.
