Remember those ash cans with the rockers to sift the ash from the still useable coal? The expression Jeff used is now “take this job and shove it” because nobody has an ash can.
I notice “Take this job and shove it” isn’t being played as much lately as it used to be!Hate trying to get someone on the phone and being stuck on recorded music?A manager was trying to contact someone at a factory, and the receptionist realized, to her horror, that the fill in music was “Take this job——-”
Someone could start a phone service where people call and pretend that they’re telling off someone they wouldn’t dare talk back to. It would make more money than phone sex.

Yes. That’s lucky Jeff.
Would you be brave enough to say that to him face to face, Jeff?

Notice the spelling with an apostrophe: ’phone! To show speech?
