Passive-aggresively smile and say (almost like you were talking to a child whose feelings you were trying to spare) "No, man, don't feel bad - that was really funny. Really great. Keep working - it's getting better. You're almost there!"

"Yes, haven't you ever heard about the annual Tour de Homeless bike race they have in France each summer?"

At this point,however, I would keep going..."it was renamed the Tour de France to avoid embarrassing people by referring to them as homeless. Rich benefactors give bikes to homeless people from around the world, and they get a chance to compete to earn money to get out of their homeless plight. Have you ever heard of Lance Armstrong? Probably the most famous homeless person ever!"

And if he's still standing there at this point, feel free to embellish and keep stringing him along until he figures it out. Let his stupidity really sink in.

THAT would be really funny, and really put the guy in a...shall we say, interesting, position with his new coworkers.

With a serious face...

"That thing, of course not...don't you know everyone gets one after they're hired,... you mean they haven't given you one yet? You need to go to 'fill in manager's name several levels higher up' and bug them for yours....otherwise you'll get screwed"

"Do you have a job?"



(Beware the employee that talks too much, chances are they're supposed to be doing something else...)
