A real estate agent said to his manager, "I have to have a raise on my commission!"

The manager replied, "Is that so? Give me a reason."

"These three companies want me. They asked for my availability every day-- and when I can talk to them"

"Hummmm....we can't afford to give you much right now..."

Then the agent says," Well, if I don't do anything quick the telephone company, electric company, and the gas company are going to harasss me again!"
