Office Humor Blog

I hope everybody has a fun (and more importantly, safe) New Year’s tonight. I also hope many of you have enjoyed this small blog in 2005 and will be back for more in 2006. For only being around for 2-3 months, the site already has 150+ posts, a quick breakdown below:

• 61 jokes
• 25 news items
• 20 pranks
• 16 general posts
• 11 gift idea posts
• 11 random links
• 5 downloads
• 4 diversions
• 3 poems

I haven’t received many comments or even many votes in the poll, which I would like to see increased over time. I’d also like to see more emails of suggestions from people, like additional pranks, jokes, etc. I’m sure you were all just waiting for 2006 to start sending me stuff

I still have a bunch of other projects and features in the works, some that are directly tied to this site, others that have nothing to do with it. In January I’ll be releasing at least 1 new thing that will be associated with this site, and will hopefully be of interest to at least some of you. I also plan on having more posts during the weekends instead of pretty much posting nothing like I have been. I know a lot of people probably check this site out during work, but I’m sure there’s at least a few that would like to see updates on the weekends.

I guess that’s all for now. Once again, have a safe, fun, New Year’s!

So this thing calls itself the falling sand game, though it really isn’t a game so much as digital crack. Though I’ve never tried crack, I hear it’s pretty addicting, and if it is anywhere as addicting as this game then I can see why drugs are such a problem.

I’m not much of a coffee drinker myself, but I know a lot of people are in the office world. I’m sure most of the coffee at most offices is the cheap stuff, and maybe you’ve wished it was the more expensive quality coffee. Perhaps you should read this story about a coffee that just might be the most expensive coffee in the world.

With New Years taking place over the weekend, you may want to check out how to make an origami balloon to impress your friends and coworkers with some party-like paper magic. It can be a cool thing to do at work for your last work day of 2005 or even if you want to make a bunch of them at a party as decorations.

Two male computer science students met on campus one day. The first student called out to the other, “Hey. Nice bike! Where did you get it?”

“Well,” replied the second student, “I was walking to class the other day, when this pretty, young coed rides up on this bike. She jumps off, takes off all off her clothes, and says, ‘You can have ANYTHING you want’.”

“Good choice.” said the first computer science student. “Her clothes wouldn’t have fit you anyway.”

A 21 year old came up with one of the greatest ideas ever, selling advertising space by the pixel on his website. You’ve got to read the story and see how he’s already made a million dollars!

Yes, you read the title right… a woman was locked out of her car by her cat. I like how the woman has a cat named “Mork” and another named “Minday”.

File that under three cats in the car means crazy cat lady.

AOL has released their list of the most spammed emails of 2005. I won’t spoil the list for you, but it is odd that there are is no porn spam in the top 10. Actually, there is only 1 sexually related email in the top 10. I thought I’d see in the top 10 the email where somebody in some African or South American country asks you to hold onto something like 100 million dollars… but I guess those aren’t as popular as stock tips, pharmaceuticals, or Donald Trump.

The sailor and a priest were playing golf. The sailor was not very good at it, and uttered a loud “F***, missed!” each time he missed.

The priest tolerated him for a few minutes and couldn’t take it anymore. “Do not swear thus, my friend, or God will punish you.”

It didn’t make a difference; the sailor continued unabated. One stroke after another, the sailor played badly, and followed up with “F***, missed!”

Again, the priest said, “Do not utter such profanities, or God will show you a sign.” It didn’t help, and the next stroke missed was followed by a loud “F***, missed!”

A bolt of lightning dropped out of the clouds and struck the priest dead. A voice was heard in the clouds: “F***, missed!”

If you’re willing to spend a little cash on some magazine subscriptions to embarrass a coworker, then you should definitely read on.

Requirements:

• Time (low) - all you need to do is subscribe to a few different magazines.
• Cost (medium) - you are going to need to subscribe to at least 1 magazine and more than that if you want a better effect.
• Risk (medium) - this can have very little risk if you don’t want to go very far, but to get a good reaction you will have to take a bit more of a risk by subscribing to less “work appropriate” magazines so only do so if you won’t get into any trouble.

Steps:

1. Find some good magazine subscriptions. A few examples include Hustler 12 issues, Cosmo Girl! 10 issues, and American Cheerleader 6 issues. Check out Magazania.com for other ideas. Be careful what you do choose though, because your office may not have enough of a sense of humor to deliver a Hustler magazine.
2. Sign up for a few magazine subscriptions but have them deliver to the work address using your coworker’s name.

Result:

Your coworker should start getting the magazines delivered at work, embarassing them in front of everybody. Depending on how the mail is delivered in your office, your results will vary. If somebody walks around to each desk and drops it off, you should get a great reaction as you see your coworker watch as a raunchy or controversial magazine gets hand delivered. If the mail is picked up by each individual, you may not even hear about it if your coworker just finds it and throws it away. If this happens, try to say something to your coworker like “Hey, was that a *fill in the name of the magazine you subscribed to* I saw in your mailbox?” and see how he or she reacts.

When choosing what magazine(s) to subscribe to, consider what your coworker absolutely hates. If he or she hates football, subscribe them to a football magazine, if they hate music, subscribe them to that. If you don’t want to go risky and have the more embarrassing stuff delivered, sending them stuff that they hate can be a decent alternative.
