For the Monday workday blues

Having a bad workday? On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson. Be very sure you get this brand!

When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing, make yourself a cocktail and sit in your favorite chair.

Open the package and remove the thermometer. Carefully place it on a table or counter so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice, in small print, the following statement:

"Every rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested."

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, "I am SO GLAD I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson."

Remember, there is always someone out there with a job that is more of a pain in the ass than yours.


Thanks for that one, Key Dear!
