"Not always just for being weird. One time I got fired because I called my boss an asshole. Another time I got fired because I told my boss that since everyone got to take Christmas off, I should get to take a holiday of my choosing off, too, since I don't celebrate Christmas. Then there was the time I got fired because my ad ideas were too liberal. That was more than once, actually. It's always either too liberal or too provocative or both."

He shakes his head at Ned's comment about him getting fired. "That's ridiculous. He could've used you as an asset. I know for sure my ads are better than the ones some of the people I work for come up with, and that's why they keep me around -- so they can steal my ideas and take credit for them. At the very least, the guy you worked for should've done that. He sounds like an idiot, though, so it's probably better that you work for yourself."

He doesn't think Ned's boasting is unwarranted, at all. It was damn good pie, and people should be honest about their talents.
