The Creation

In the beginning was the Plan
And then came the assumptions
And the assumptions were without form
And the Plan was completely without substance
And darkness was upon the faces of the workers

And they spake unto their Group Heads, and sayeth:
"It is a crock, and it stinketh!"

And the Group Heads went unto their Section Heads, and sayeth:
"It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof."

And the Section Heads went unto their Managers, and sayeth unto them:
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."

And the Managers went to their Director, and sayeth unto him:
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."

And the Director went unto his Vice-President, and sayeth:
"It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."

And the Vice-President went unto the President, and sayeth unto him:
"It promoteth growth, and it is very powerful."

And the President went unto the Chairman of the Board and sayeth unto him:
"This powerful new Plan will actively promote growth and the efficiency of the Company."

And the Chairman looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.

Bad Excuses for Missing Work

I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I
shouldn't come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.

I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?

When I got up this morning I took two Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac.

I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at the pharmacy.

I've used up all my sick days...so I'm calling in dead

The voices told me to clean all the guns today.

The dog ate my car keys, so now I have to hitchhike to the vet.

A Group of Managers...

A group of managers was given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. They got their ladders and tape measures and went out to the flagpole. However, the measurement job turned out to be much more difficult than any of them had expected, with some of them falling off the ladders, some dropping their tape measures and so on, and the whole thing had just turned into a big disaster.

After a while, an engineer happened to walk by and saw what the managers were attempting to do. She walked over, pulled the flagpole out of the ground, and laid it flat on the ground. She measured it from end to end, gave the measurement to one of the managers and then walked away without saying a word.

After the engineer was out of sight, one manager turned to another and laughed as he shook his head. "Now that's just like an engineer! We're looking for the height and she gives us the length!"

What a Pisser

Shannon received a phone call from the foreman plant that her husband worked at. He sounded grim and she immediately knew something was wrong.

"What happened? Is Patrick all right? Please tell me he's ok," she said.

The man on the line said, "Shannon, there was an accident at the brewery and your husband is . . . dead."

"Oh my goodness, what happened?" Shannon asked.

The foreman replied, "He fell into a vat of beer."

"Did he at least die quickly?" sobbed Shannon.

The man paused, then said, "Well, no . . . he got out three times to use the bathroom."

Who's the boss

When the body was first made all the parts of the body were fighting to see who would become the boss of the body. The fight for power was most intense between the limbs, the brain, and ..... the asshole.

The limbs said they should be boss because they control the human, and without them the body was useless and couldnt move or do anything.

The brain said it should be boss becauses it has to control the whole body and without the brain nothing in the body would function, neither the limbs or the asshole.

The asshole said simply, "I'm the boss."

The brain and limbs laughed at him. The asshole was so mad he closed up and the body became constipated. The brain couldnt think straight and became fuzzy, the limbs became cold, sweaty and clammy, the body was going to hell. So the brain and limbs decided the asshole was the boss.

Morale of the story is that it doesnt matter how good you are or what you do for others, only the asshole will become the person in charge.

Initial Problem

R. B. Jones had just started a government job. Human Resources sent him a letter, instructing him that they needed his full name for their records, otherwise he could not be paid. They enclosed the proper form for him to fill out.

R.B. wrote back to explain that he HAS no other names, only the initials R.B. So he filled in the form as follows:

First name: R (only)
Middle name: B (only)
Last name: Jones

Sure enough, come payday, R.B. received a pay cheque made out to Ronly Bonly Jones!
