Joke:
A young businessman had just started his own firm. He'd rented beautiful office
and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the
outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the
phone and started to pretend he had big deal working. He threw huge figures
around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor,
"Can I help you?" The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."

LAWS OF WORK
If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.
A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and
what you're going to do.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you
did before.
The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to
you the rest of the day.
When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about
themselves.
If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool
about it.
There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss
asks for a ride home from the office.
Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.
Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."
Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.
To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.
Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is
supposed to be doing.
Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you
will get out of it.
You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of
pens that person is carrying.
When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
Following the rules will not get the job done.
Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing
it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
No matter how much you do, you never do enough.
The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that
goes wrong.
*************************************************
The father was very anxious to marry off his only daughter so he wanted to
impress her date. "Do you like to screw," he says. "Huh" replied the surprised
first date. "My daughter she loves to screw and she's good at it, you and her
should go screw," carefully explained the father. Now very interested the boy
replied, "Yes, sir." Minutes later the girl came down the stairs, kissed her father
goodbye and the couple left. After only a few minutes she reappeared, furious,
dress torn, hair a mess and screamed "Dammit, Daddy, it's the TWIST, get it
straight!"
=============================================
37 creative ways to say someone is stupid:
A few clowns short of a circus. A few fries short of a Happy Meal. An
experiment in Artificial Stupidity. A few beers short of a six-pack. Dumber than
a box of hair. A few peas short of a casserole. Doesn't have all her cornflakes in
one box. The wheel's spinning, but the hamster's dead. One Fruit Loop shy of a
full bowl. One taco short of a combination plate. A few feathers short of a
whole duck. All foam, no beer. The cheese slid off her cracker. Body by Fisher,
brains by Mattel. Couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the
heel. He fell out of the Stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down. An
intellect rivaled only by garden tools. As smart as bait. Chimney's clogged.
Doesn't have all his dogs on one leash. Doesn't know much but leads the league
in nostril hair. Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor. Forgot to pay her
brain bill. Her sewing machine's out of thread. His antenna doesn't pick up all
the channels. His belt doesn't go through all the loops. If she had another brain,
it would be lonely. Missing a few buttons on his remote control. No grain in the
silo. Proof that evolution CAN go in reverse. Receiver is off the hook. Several
nuts short of a full pouch. Skylight leaks a little. Slinky's kinked. Surfing in
Nebraska. Too much yardage between the goal posts. Not the sharpest knife in
the drawer. The lights are on, but nobody's home. 24 cents short of a quarter.
