The longer Tommy stayed on this job, the more he hated it

The longer Tommy stayed on this job, the more he hated it. He thought the boss was too demanding. He especially disliked being reprimanded for being late. One afternoon, he was asked by a secretary to take a letter to the boss for his signature. The boss had had an eye operation and was recuperating at home. Tommy got two signatures, one on the letter and one on a note promising to pay Tommy $1000 in consideration for services rendered. The boss was not careless, but couldn't read the papers. What argument, if any, could the boss use to avoid paying on the (promissory) note he signed?
