THE JOYS OF WORKING
The work-place may seem to be a dead serious place. But then, if you look at things in a different light... like these people did... you might actually find things to laugh about.

IN THE OFFICE...
GOSSIP: The only thing that travels faster than E-mail.

WORK IS MORE IMPORTANT...
An executive was called for jury duty, and it looked like he might be chosen for a case that would drag on for some time. He asked the judge to excuse him. "We're very busy at the office," he explained. "i can't afford to stay away for an extended period."
"I see," said the judge. "You're one of the businessmen with an exaggerated opinion of yourself. You're convinced that you company cannot function without you. Is that right?"
"No, Your Honor, I know they can get along without me. I just don't want them to find out.
He was dismissed after the judge stopped rolling in laughter.

ENOUGH EXERCISE
Why some companies require NO PHYSICAL-FITNESS PROGRAM
Everyone gets enough exercise jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, running down the boss, flogging dead horses, knifing friends in the back, dodging responsibility and pushing thier luck.

WHEN YOU ARE BROKE...
Then there was the man who was so broke that he couldn't even pay attention.

AT THE MART
When I was filling in as produce clerk at the supermarket, I noticed that before choosing a melon, shoppers would hold the fruit up their ears and knock on it. I never kew what they expected to hear. One day, I asked a shopper about it.
"Son, he said, "I've been doing this for 40 years. All I know is that if you just pick it up and put it in your cart, everybody looks at you like you're crazy."

COULD YOU GET THE JOB?
A certain banker tests applicants for the position of teller by posing this problem:
"Here is a cheque for $63. Give me that amount in eight bills, but do not give me any $1 bills."
If the applicant doesn't solve this in 30 seconds he doesn't get the job.

Two $20 bills; one $10 bill; one $5 bill; four $2 bills. Total $63.

THE SIGN
A sign in an office reads: "Pain and suffering is inevitable, being miserable is optional."
