Get Your Corporate Version of the Zodiac Read



From Denny: Here's another odd gem found on the web this week. Obviously, the writer was well versed in corporate careers.

1. MARKETING

You are ambitious yet stupid. You chose a marketing degree to avoid having to study in college, concentrating instead on drinking and socializing, which is pretty much what your job responsibilities are now. Least compatible with Sales.

2. SALES

Laziest of all signs, often referred to as "marketing without a degree," you are also self-centered and paranoid. Unless someone calls you and begs you to take their money, you like to avoid contact with "customers" so you can "concentrate on "the big picture." You seek admiration for your golf game throughout your life.

3. TECHNOLOGY

Unable to control anything in your personal life, you are instead content to completely control everything that happens at your workplace. Often even YOU don't understand what you are saying, but who the hell can tell?! It is so written that "the geeks shall inherit the Earth."

4. ENGINEERING

One of only two signs that actually studied in school, it is said that ninety percent of all personal ads are placed by engineers. You can be happy with yourself: your office is typically full of all the latest "ergo-dynamic" gadgets. However, everyone knows what's really causing your "carpal tunnel"...

5. ACCOUNTING

The only other sign that studied in school, you are mostly immune from office politics. You are the most feared person in the organization; combined with your extreme organizational traits, the majority of rumors concerning you say that you are completely insane.

6. HUMAN RESOURCES

Ironically, given your access to confidential information, you tend to be the biggest gossip within the organization. Possibly the only other person that does less work than marketing, you are unable to return any calls today because you have to get a haircut, have lunch, and mail a letter!

7. MIDDLE MANAGEMENT/DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT/"TEAM LEADS"

Catty, cut-throat, yet completely spineless, you are destined to remain at your current job for the rest of your life. Unable to make a single decision you tend to measure your worth by the number of meetings you can schedule for yourself. Best suited to marry other "Middle Managers," as everyone in your social circle is a "Middle Manager."

8. SENIOR MANAGEMENT

Catty, cut-throat, yet completely spineless, you are destined to remain at your current job for the rest of your life. Unable to make a single decision you tend to measure your worth by the number of meetings you can schedule for yourself. Best suited to marry other "Senior Managers," as everyone in your social circle is a "Senior Manager."

9. CUSTOMER SERVICE

Bright, cheery, positive, you are a fifty-cent cab ride from taking your own life. As a child very few of you asked your parents for a little cubicle for your room and a headset so you could pretend to play "Customer Service." Continually passed over for promotions, your best bet is to sleep with your boss.

Ouch Rude Video: Mocking Martha Stewart

From Denny: Don't get me wrong; I like Martha Stewart. I also realize she has a huge ego and is often "over the top" just like powerful men get when they have more than their egos can handle wisely. Somehow, this was funny anyway! :)

From our friends over at South Park cartoons. These guys are mocking Martha Stewart. I like Martha Stewart and so do these guys in their own very cracked downright unbalanced way. They are having fun both with teaching others how to craft and the menopausal women doing socially inappropriate things that are, well, funny!

*** If you are sensitive to obnoxious humor or are a fellow woman you may not want to view this. One thing is for sure, only a male would have contemplated writing this video in this manner and then take the time to create it. Not exactly the kind of thing a woman would consider doing for humor.

I see a lot of these kinds of spoofs on high profile big ego people on the internet. Frankly, I'm surprised there isn't more as it looks like Martha gets off relatively easy. What is funny about it, though couched in crude terms, is the mocking of Martha taking adult women back to their kindergarten days of cut and paste - and making money off it - as she is basically mocking her own audience in so doing!

Guess this rude video qualifies for both the Ouch and Outrageous categories! :) Martha is probably secreting enjoying all the attention...

Trash-talking turkeys just passing the time until someone took them seriously... Photo by stevevoght @ flickr from another of my funny posts: 21 Funny Thanksgiving Fighting Turkey Photos

From Denny: I found some hilarious Thanksgiving Day quotes along with a few smart jokes and LOL holiday poems for this week's Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poets blog. Click on the links below for the full post of funnies and the Obama Turkey Pardon Preparation Video. Here's a sampling taste to get you started on your holiday grinning, enjoy!

Quotes

* If you count all your assets, you always show a profit. ~ Robert Quillen

* Here I am 5 o'clock in the morning stuffing bread crumbs up a dead bird's butt. - Roseanne Barr

* It was dramatic to watch my grandmother decapitate a turkey with an ax the day before Thanksgiving. Nowadays the expense of hiring grandmothers for the ax work would probably qualify all turkeys so honored with 'gourmet' status. - Russell Baker

* Thanksgiving is America's national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty. ~ Michael Dresser

* I love Thanksgiving turkey. It's the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts. ~ Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Funny Management Corporate Lesson of the Bird



Photo by I'm Fantastic @ flickr

The Bird and The Cat

A little bird was flying south for the winter.

It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lessons:

a) Not everyone who sh*ts on you is your enemy
b) Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend.
c) And when you're in deep sh*t, it's best to keep your mouth shut.

Lampooning Editorial Cartoons 21 Nov 2009



From Denny: Every Saturday I round up the best editorial cartoons of the week. They sure do lampoon the latest news! This week women have been up in arms angry at new health care guidelines which sounded really lame. There is the controversy over bringing Gitmo terrorists onto American soil to hang 'em in the New York courts just blocks away from the still destroyed Twin Towers area. Comments about Prez Obama's trips to Japan and China, too much bowing and nice-nice for most cartoonists apparently. Plenty of cartoonists lampooning Congress about health care.

Be sure to check out the funny video of Comedy Central's Jon Stewart lampooning the Palin book tour and the GOP in general. There are real news headline links to check out about the book tour farce and how Palin has already stiffed her fans, leaving them hanging literally out in the cold for hours in the rain in Indiana. They were not happy campers at all. Well, that's what you get when your hero is a fantasy: reality face slaps.

So, hike on over to The Social Poets where I park those cartoons every week and enjoy yourself today! BTW, thanks, everyone for visiting. You have been coming by the thousands, quite the unexpected turnout for my comedy parties, thank you! I'll make sure I order more appetizers for my hungry hordes... :)

Ouch Joke: Corporate Management Lesson for a Real Turkey



Photo by David Reece @ flickr

Turkey Corporate Management Lesson

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 some of my droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually 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 promptly spotted by a hunter, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson: Bull sh*t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

9 Funny Socially Inappropriate Store Signs



From Denny: Nothing is better for a laugh than when a non-native English speaker decides to try and translate and then paints it in huge letters and parks it on a sign outside his store. It's a good laugh for those "in the know."

What's worse like the above sign? They are native English speakers and still don't get it! :) I mean, who is left in America that does not know the word cum spelled like that is so unacceptable in polite company???



The funniest get lost in translation from Chinese or Japanese into English as this one from San Francisco's Japantown district.



Do ya think they maybe meant to say it was a Good clothing store?



Can't wait to go try that hamburger joint. Oh, forget it, lost my appetite...



Having lived in Taiwan as a kid I know what they were really trying to say: The Happy Rooster, yeah, actually. Sure got lost in translation, now didn't it...



Can you imagine the look on the face of the guy who created the sign or the strange looks from on-lookers as they were installing it on the store front? Well, maybe not, it's in Germany.



Surely these folks are not serious... would not set foot in there no matter what. Maybe a simple Welcome sign might have been smarter.



Sure looks intentional, no letter missing. Someone might want to tell them...



And for a life-changing experience, feel free to visit the favorite establishment of Hannibal Lector. Reminds me of some of the funny signs I saw while vacationing in Greece.

Ouch! Best Love Story in Three Pictures: Prez Bush and Sec Condi Rice

From Denny: The funny things you find while roaming the internet... It was long suspected Condi Rice and Bush had a long-standing affair though it never became public knowledge. Of course, neither did his binge drinking and long weekend drunks the Secret Service and aides were fairly adept at covering up. I still like the tale of how he supposedly choked on a preztel or how about the other White House fairy tale that Bush fell on his bike. Now, come on, they had to "spin" those facial bruises. Somehow, they just couldn't blame it on the First Lady, Laura.

Funny Money Advice, Cheeky Quote Day at The Social Poets



Money at hand by Don Hankin @ flickr

From Denny: It's Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poets where I stash a lot of humor as well. Actually, TSP was the blog that started it all with the funny quotes posts! Then the blog, Dennys Funny Quotes, spun off, guess it was a case of ROTFLOL...

As I researched just a few money quotes they struck me as, well, so odd they were funny. Guess I couldn’t help myself in the cheeky department, as an irreverent being and all. Then I ran across a cute quiz for odd words and phrases to entertain you too.

Here's a sampling of some of the oddest money advice quotes:

* Never invest in any idea you can't illustrate with a crayon. - Peter Lynch

* If the nation's economists were laid end to end, they would point in all directions. - Arthur H. Motley

* Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells. - J. Paul Getty

* The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket. - Frank Hubbard

* Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work. - Robert Orben

Pass it forward to your friends so they realize just how much freedom we have in America to enjoy the internet. Amazing how little access some countries experience...

First Lady Michelle Obama on Leno Show

From Denny: The Obamas have a great sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously. When asked what her girls were wearing for Halloween costumes, she quipped, "You need a security clearance for that one!" I'll bet you do, duh!

Apparently, her biggest pet peeve with her famous husband is that he beats her continuously on the tennis courts. After all, these are two lawyers married to each other; you can only imagine how competitive they get from time to time...

Leno wanted to know that as any political wife, what did she whisper to her husband after his speeches? She said she usually asks him if he had already taken out the garbage.

Take a look at her appearance on the Jay Leno Show via satellite:

Odd News Video: Liquor Warehouse Implodes in Russia

From Denny: Keith Olbermann is only too happy to oblige us with some weird news of his own. This news video is from Russia where you get to watch as some not smart guy keeps backing up a forklift into the mountainous shelves of cases of vodka and cognac. Watch as the metal shelves bend under the weight and the entire warehouse starts crashing down. We can only imagine the reeking smell of the place. Bet his boss was soooo happy with that guy the next day!



What is really weird is the first story about a drunk guy in a convenience store trying to walk down the aisle with yet another six-pack of beer. Unbelievable. This video shows the liquor store collapse too on the second portion.
