His boss finally did what needed to be done and she fired that bastard (but be careful guys, in current world you have to be careful when firing a imbecile like Lee, that could be enough to turn a imbecile into a murderer), Lee was enraged at being fired and told her that she would regret firing him, but she didn't worry about the threat of that idiot and he left the office upset and wanting revenge.
Lee decided to kill his ex-boss to get revenge on her and add his name to the list of shootings in workplaces in the US, he climbed an oak tree with a non-automatic rifle and waited for his ex-boss to come out to shoot her.
But Lee didn't know that he was part of the 5% of people who are severely allergic to oak pollen, the spring season proceeded to hit that sick jerk a complete allergy attack within minutes, causing him to sneeze constantly and suffer from vertigo which caused him to become dizzy, then his ex-boss came out and he tried to shoot her but the allergy and vertigo ruined Lee's aim and making him fail the shot, saving her from death, then Lee lost his balance and fell from the tree, the fall compressed his cervical spinal column, paralyzing him, killing him and sending this odious imbecile to hell where he belonged.

Trivia[]
- Also known as "Allergy Treason" on the Spike TV (now Paramount Networks) website.
- The background on Lee's computer features a screenshot from Myth Busted. That can't happen, however - while this event took place in 1998, "Myth Busted" took place in 2006.
- The word angry bird mentioned by the narrator is a reference from Angry Birds, a popular IOS game, which was released in December of 2009.
- When Lee was falling from the death due to vertigo and subsequent paralysis, a part of the Howie scream can be heard. This can also be heard in the conclusion part where the narrator explains the doggerel.
- The rifle Lee was using for his assassination attempt was not a single bolt action rifle, but rather a Harvey Survival Rifle, which is semi-automatic and magazine fed.
