Open to Question
I was in the emergency room when
a young male nurse came in to ask
routine medical questions.
NURSE: Have you ever had a
hysterectomy?
ME: Ye s.
NURSE: When?
ME: 2011.
NURSE: Do you think you could
be pregnant?
ME: Do you think this is the right
career for you?

Make No Mistake
The boss is so allergic to admitting
an error that soon he’ll claim that
he didn’t mistype ‘thanks’ and that
‘htanks’ is a greeting in Norway.

Backhanded Compliment
When corporate came to visit,
the chief executive officer
complimented me by saying,
“You aren’t as dumb as HR made
you out to be.” pleasefireme.tumblr
THE SHOW GOES ON
There’s this story about a guy that
was hanging around the circus,
watching another guy picking up
elephant dung and moving it over
into a pile. It was hot and sweaty
work, but he’d go back and pick up
another pile, then another pile.
Finally the first guy said, “Man,
why don’t you get a real job?”
And the elephant dung guy said,
“What, and quit show business?”
