got LAID!!!!!!!!!

Without an iota of doubt i am damn sure that your stretch of imagination would have crossed all barriers and you would have surmised(even though prematurely)that the "LAID" in this context would have been something sinister.....aahh....pity on you or on me .....donno....yes my friends i got laid....off....(did i say laid off?????)

this reminds me of the epic mahabharata when the great yudhishtira upon coaxing by srikrishna said (((, "Yes, Ashwathama is dead"; but added in whisper, "I do not know whether he is a man or an elephant.")))to dampen the spirits of kaurvas and specifically dronacharya...the fact of matter being that Ashwathama who was killed was an elephant in the pandavas side.....so his announcement was enough to set the cat among the pigeons in the kaurava camp..... getting laid is something very similar in context to what yudhisthir said with the notable differences being
1st)i am the speaker( a blue collar professional who is knocking at the doorsteps of history and who wants his article to be rememebered as an adjective defying masterpiece or rather be engraved on his epitaph)
2nd)got laid here alludes to the fact of being shown the pink slip in the times of financial panic or lemme rechristen it as the great depression II and not what you fickle minded people had thought...(my apologies for the condescending reference)
3rd)this is supposed to set the cat among pigeons on the targeted audience called "my company "so that they found some semblance of anguish,pain and suffering which any employee like me would suffer upon being laid off.......and amidst all this alleged hullabulaoo(ya i am hoping it to have such pronounced repurcussion) get me my job back.......

legend has it tough times never last but tough people do......my grief cloaked in humour is a testimony of my strength(read tuoghness)beyond measures......i hope there are some serious takers who understand the plight of poor blokes like me who have to go through such a traumatic phase in life wherein inspite of giving your total commitment you are rewarded with misfortune and rejection.......in this time of monumental grief i would just like to share my empathies with all the people sharing my fate....may god give all of us the courage ,fortitude and tenacity to tide over this crisis....
amen!!!!!!!!
