If you went into your boss's office this morning and demanded a raise of more than 13 times your current salary, what do you think the outcome might be?

As much as your employer might like you as an employee or as a person, you'd probably find yourself out of a job -- which is exactly what happened to Minnesota Vikings mascot Ragnar the Viking, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Joe Juranitch was asking for $20,000 per game over 10 years, which turns out to be $1.6 million for eight regular season home games per season. He reportedly made "about" $1,500 per game last year, which obviously makes the request seem completely outrageous.
