old and doesn’t know what’s going on one hundred percent of the time, and her husband so up. Things are just not going well in the Griswold household.
Clarks boss, Frank, is a pure pain in the rear end, if you know what I mean.
Clarks worked for him for 17 years and has giving the company some great ideas and products but has never gotten any recognition. The only time of the year Clark appreciates his job is Christmas time. When he gets his Christmas bonus check.

spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?”
You think it cant get any worse? Well, it does. Crazy uncle Eddie of course goes and gets Clarks boss, Frank to bring him a gift because he’s not all there.
