Chapter I: Corporate Lessons
Corporate Lesson 1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story:If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Corporate Lesson 2
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story:If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Corporate Lesson 3
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin. clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story:Always let your boss have the first say.

Corporate Lesson 4
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Corporate Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story:Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Chapter II: The Work Aptitude Test
WORK APTITUDE TEST
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions which will tell you whether or not you are qualified to be a professional.
Scroll down for each answer: The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question!
Question #1
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door.
This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 03, 2006, 06:53:08 PM
Question #2
2 . How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator? Wrong Answer.
Correct Answer:Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, and close the door.
This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 03, 2006, 07:04:19 PM
Question #3
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend ... except one. Which animal does not attend?
Correct Answer:The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory.
Okay even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

Title: RE:It's All Work Related....
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 03, 2006, 07:30:21 PM
Question #4
4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer:You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.
This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

Chapter III: How to Poop at Work
How To Poop At Work: Part 1 of 4
We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, following the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.
CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.
FLY BY: This is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going to the bathroom.
ESCAPEE: This is a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This usually is accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.

How To Poop At Work: Part 2 of 4
JAILBREAK: When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, DO NOT PANIC. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.
COURTESY FLUSH: This is the act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.
WALK OF SHAME: This happens when you walk from the stall, to the sink, and to the door after you just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. This can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.
OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER: This is a colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER enter the bathroom with a newspaper or a magazine under their arm. Always look around the office for the OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER before entering the bathroom.

How To Poop At Work: Part 3 of 4
THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N.): This is the group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. The P.F.N . group can help you monitor the whereabouts of Out Of the Closet Poopers and identify SAFE HAVENS.
SAFE HAVENS: This is a seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.
TURD BURGLAR: This is someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the TURD BURGLAR leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.
CAMO-COUGH: This is a phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in the stall. This can be used to cover up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential TURD BURGLARS. This can be very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

How To Poop At Work: Part 4 of 4
ASTAIRE: This is a subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential TURD BURGLARS that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an ASTAIRE, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.
WATERMELON: This is a poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a WATERMELON coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.
HAVANA OMELET: This happens with a case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. This is often accompanied by an ESCAPEE. Try using a CAMO-COUGH with an ASTAIRE.
UNCLE TED: This is a bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. This individual spends extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An UNCLE TED makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper. You should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. This will benefit you as well as the others in the building.

Apparently I have very poor work bathroom etiquette. I usually try to guess who's going number two by the shoes and then peer over the top of the stall to see if I was correct.

At his work one of my friends rented an air pump and filled hundreds of balloons, using them to fill a coworker's office from the bottom to the top while he was gone. Balloons wound up all over the entire office, to the point where people from other divisions and other floors were coming to see where they all came from.

Actually on one April Fools day we took all the stuff we could move out of the break room and put it into our bosses office. We hooked everything up, ate a snack in his office & left a mess on the table when we were done. We left a note on a lady's desk that we works withs desk to brew some coffee in his office as soon as she got there but don't tell anyone about the joke(she is first into the office everyday).
The next day everyone thought someone had robbed the kitchen but followed the scent of fresh coffee back to my bosses office. He wasn't mad, but he didn't like having his office smell like coffee, or the fact that people were microwaving food in his office either. it was pretty funny.

Chapter VI: Hand Delivered Package Labels
Sometimes we have packages that need to be delivered to a different suite within the same building, instead of paying for the courier service to do it, we have to do it ourselves.
The catch is that I work a swing shift(afternoon shift) and the packages need to be delivered in the morning(around 9am), so when we get a package that need to be delivered to a different suite within the building after that other suite that is closed we have to prepare the package to be delivered by someone else in the morning.
So far I have made 3 different ones, and I'm looking for more good ideas. If you have a good idea, help me out

If you can think of a good slogan to go with Minuteman Express, lets hear it. If you can think of a completely different company name and a good slogan to go with that too, then thats even better.

The resurrection of a thread that arguably should have never been.....
FIVE BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK:
5. "They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."
4. "This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the Time Management course you sent me to."
3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time."
2. "Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?"
AND THE NUMBER ONE BEST THING TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK...
1. Raise your head slowly and say, "...in Jesus' name, Amen."
I really wish someone would have shared this with me alot sooner, as it really would have come in handy on the numerous, and by numerous I mean many, time I've been caught sleeping at the desk.

I noticed that they are down, but that would require alot of effort on my part to find and rehost the pictures. Some would have to be re-scanned and then re-posted, others just have to be found on my work computer again, and then re-hosted once again. Either way, it requires alot of effort on my part, and I promise, when that effort is put in, I will PM you to let you know. Besides there is a few things I've been wanting to add to my work <S>blog</S> thread, so I'll get around to it eventually.

Post by: vudu on June 14, 2007, 10:42:51 AM
(A) I'm sure there's not a hole in the desk. The keyboard was probably just cut in half and affixed to either side of the desk so it looked like it was lodged in there. Must like with those silly arrow headbands.
(B) It's probably a photo that was found on the Internet or in an e-mail forward; I doubt any of these pictures (except maybe the packing labels) were actually taken at BnM's place of employment.
Title: RE: It's All Work Related....
Post by: that Baby guy on June 14, 2007, 11:33:16 AM
I get the impression from BnM that he's done most of this stuff himself, at least if I remember some of the PM's we've had correctly. I've been forced to delet most of them, though, so I'm not too sure. I thought the same thing about the keyboard, but then I saw the saw dust on the computer beneath the desk, which made me have second thoughts about it.

those pictures were not taken by me nor were they taken at my office.The only pics provided by me were the ones scanned in personally. Everything else was given to me by e-mail. As much as I would like to have done all of that or have taken pics of the pranks I have done, I didn't.
Although we did turn our bosses office into the kitchen once, we never actually took pictures of it. People did actually come into his office to microwave food, make coffee and get water, so it was a worthy April Fools joke,, but I didn't actually take a picture.

That's pretty awesome. It must have taken them quite some time to construct all of that.

Funny work related stories? Sure!
These are just quickies though, i'll post some really good ones eventually (unless i realize i've shared them on these forums before).
For over a year this one guy at work knew me as Alex, and I don't know why, but i just ran with it. I thought it was the funniest thing in the world and begged the people i work closely with not to ever say anything. Then one day, about a week or so before he quit, someone messed up and told him.
He was in one of the upstairs office, with all our female operators, and happened to ask about me, can called me Alex of course. The girl he was speaking to, Liz, looked at him confused and pointed to the one guy they have working in that office, who is also named Alex. He goes "no, not that Alex, where's the young fellow who sits at the desk down-stairs?" Liz was still confused by this, not sure why because she knows that he thinks I'm Alex.. it gets to the point where this poor guy is describing me to her just to get a clue in her head of who the **** i am. She finally blurts it out.. "oh.. Alex? Thats not Alex, thats Mike!"
If only i coulda seen the look on his face... Liz called me as soon as the poor guy left, and tells me what just happened, or rather she tries to tell me between laughs. Somehow, i went the rest of the day without seeing this guy but the next morning, bright and early, he walks in and as always has to pass by my desk to get to his and i say "Goodmorning!" with such enthusiasm. He has a smirk on his face, then a serious look and asks "why didn't you ever tell me? I've been calling you Alex for so long now." and thats when i stole a joke from a comedian (wish i could remember his name to give credit where its due) and said
"Well, you liked me as Alex. We were friends as Alex and i didn't want to change that." and kinda improvised from there. We shared a laugh but for the next few days until he left, I could tell he felt a little awkward and embarrassed. I felt bad for him but hey, it was still damn funny.
Oh, and one time i joked around with that girl Liz and said something about her being pregnant. Well i learned you gotta be careful about what you joke around cuz when certain nosey people are around, and they don't know how you joke around, they'll run with things they overhear and spread them as truths. Basicaly word got around that she was having a baby and a recently fired coworker of ours was the father.. LOL! She had people congratulating her and didn't know why.. ;D

I knew exactly where this was going as soon as the story started. I can picture the comedian in my head telling the joke, but I can't remember a name.

I'm surprised your coworker was more pissed. I know from experience that girls and pregnancy jokes don't mix.

Well she kinda started the jokes. I never make fun of peoples physical traits unless I know they're not sensitive, and at the time i'd worked with this girl to know she wasn't. On top of that she brought the topic up, saying how the dress she wore looked like a pregnancy gown. If she didn't already joke about herself I wouldn't of joked about her round middle lol

Chapter IV: Pranks to Play when a Co-Worker's Away
Prank #1: Post-It Notes
Put post-it notes around the office (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/BlackNMild2k1/Work%20Related/post-it4.jpg)
C'mon, put them everywhere (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/BlackNMild2k1/Work%20Related/post-it5.jpg)
And I mean EVERYWHERE!!! (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/BlackNMild2k1/Work%20Related/post-it2.jpg)
Can't forget the floor. (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/BlackNMild2k1/Work%20Related/Post-it1.jpg)
Or all the computer equipment (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/BlackNMild2k1/Work%20Related/post-it3.jpg)
Now go for the punchline (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c262/BlackNMild2k1/Work%20Related/post-itpunchline.jpg)
MEGA BUMP!!!
I just wanted to say that a recent co-worker just did a variation of this prank on another co-worker.
Instead of plasting post it notes absolutely everywhere, she put one on each item on teh desk labeling what it was (i.e. Phone, Monitor, soda, stapler, keyboard, etc etc.) and then on the last post it note stuck the back paper, she wrote "BTW, you are all out of post-it notes"
He was quite amused.
and another running prank they had for new people was a keyboard that they would switch out that had all the keys put in different places. Most of them never seem to understand quite what is wrong and they get frustrated that their log-in password is not working. I guess it's apparent that they are not expert typers and don't know QWERTY and key placements by heart.

CTRL, ALT, Arrow Key
- Flip your co-worker's screen upside down, and if they don't know what you did, watch as they come back to their desk completely confused.
Additionally, if a co-worker walks away from their desk without locking their computer, take a screenshot of their desktop, & use that screenshot as their desktop background. Then hide the task bar & icons. They'll come back and be confused why nothing works. Watch them lose their minds as they think their computer froze, then restart and find it hasn't fixed anything, then have to call the help desk hotline.

I like that last one, we used to do the first one all the time.
Another one they would do if you left your computer unlocked was send out a plausible but ridiculous email to a group of people in the office that would hopefully get the joke, and maybe a few that won't, but would go up to the person in question and show concern, leaving the target confused as they have no idea what they are talking about as long as no one replied to the email and/or the target never checked their email.
