"Trusted Assistant" joke

One night, Jim, the Governor's most trusted assistant, passed away in his sleep. The Governor had relied on Jim for advice on every aspect imagineable. Jim had also been his dearest friend. Feeling such a great loss, the Governor was quite upset to see the office workers were wasting no time seeking Jim's job. "Can they not at least wait until the poor man is buried," muttered the Governor.
At Jim's funeral, one of the eager office workers approached the Governor and asked, "Sir, any chance that I could take Jim's place?"
"Definitely!" replied the Governor. "You'd better hurry though, I believe the undertaker is nearly finished."
