Get your No. 2 pencils ready

So, I'm reading that two people at UMDNJ were fired from "no-show'' jobs.
Huh?
Sounds like an oxymoron to me. How do you get fired from a no-show job? Put in a full day's work?
I can see somebody going to jail for fraud for having a no-show job. I can see the paychecks stop coming. But fired?
There's a funny analogy here somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it.
So for all of you who took the old SATs -- the ones with the analogies -- help me find the funny.
"Getting fired from a no-show job is like. . . .''

Or some of my "what's the point analogies" include: "holding a Bulimia Anonymous reunion at an all-u-can eat restaurant"...


"telling a caller to the suicide hotline.."Please hold"..

"selling Viagra to a eunuch"..

"being voted Class Clown at the Ringling Bros. Circus school"..

"Giving a pair of gloves to a one-armed woman"..

"Starting a diet Thanksgiving morning"..

Like I said..what's the point!
