Computer engineer fired for eating leftover pizza

The competition, run by Simply Hired, said that Jim Garrison was chosen as the most bizzare sacking from more than 1,000 entries.

He will win a free Caribbean cruise with passengers famously fired by Donald Trump on his popular television show, "The Apprentice".

Garrison, ate two of the six pieces of pepperoni pizza left over from a company meeting, although he didn't work in the department that held the meeting.

He thought that since the company had bought it and it looked like it was going to be wasted if it wasn't eaten he would have it.

However, several of the employees from the right department had apparently hatched out plan to take the pizza home with them and moaned to management like big girl's blouses.

It took the company a month to fire Garrison, but the pizza was given as the reason. Simply Hired have refused to release the name of the employer other than to say it was a large mortgage company.

Garrison now works at a satellite TV company and does not touch leftovers. I should have entered, I was once fired from my computer operator job by the Queen because she was not amused by my sense of humour. [And who can blame Her Majesty. You're fired, Ed.]
