If any of you have 9 to 5 office jobs you will probably relate (almost too well) to what I am about to tell you. There are some ... er ... "jokes" that like to circulate the cubicle-filled hallways of office buildings every once and a while. (You will understand why I put "jokes" in quotation marks in one sec.) These "jokes", I guess, are supposed to be hilarious, help you forget about your daily duties, and make you chuckle with a whimsical glee as you clench your coffee mug and try to forget about the fight you just had with your wife last night over Dancing With the Stars. I am here to say these "jokes" need to stop. They are not funny. At all. The culprit today (one that I have heard many times over the years) was this: I walk in and sit down in my office. A coworker walks by and peeks in at what I am doing. I happen to have the same colored shirt on as this coworker. Coworker says: “Oh, hey, I see you got the memo!” Coworker then laughs uncontrollably and walks away (assumedly to use the same line on someone else unlucky enough to have worn a yellow shirt). Now, what part of that "joke" is funny? Is there an actual memo that goes out to people telling them what to wear to work that I mistakenly didn’t receive? If not, is it supposed to be funny to even think about a wacky memo like that existing? Wow, that is hilarious. I know, I sound like a jerk saying this, but someone has to stand up for what is funny in this world. At least if said coworker told me a Knock Knock joke or recited a funny limerick I would have been impressed by the originality. I love everyone I work with, but, man, these "jokes" are getting old. How about you? Are you the daily victim of office "jokes"? If so, what are they? I have a morbid curiosity about these things.

However there were some... "office people" who acted almost exactly like that.
Also whilst filing one day, I saw this on the wall and had to take a picture.
To this day I still don't know what message it's trying to convey!
HAHAHAHAHA I CRACK MYSELF UP.
Someone Help Me ;_;
It's completely infuriating because of how transparently shallow it is. Like the person feels obliged to make some sort of chit chat even though they don't want to know you.
Fuck office jokes, and fuck offices.
(Yeah I'm kinda pissed, sorry I just had to get that out and this felt like an appropriate time :P)
Spoiler: He says fuck.
='(
consider this, the new memo.
QUICK WE NEED TEXT SMILEY FACES IN THIS BLOG STAT!!!
What's going on?
That makes Sheep a sad panda...
Sign 3 of the Apocalypse: Chad Concelmo turns emo/goth and hates everything.
This one lady where I work has a little sign that says something "I'm imagining duct tape over your mouth right now". It's only slightly funny because she's the type that would actually do.
"Yeah I know cutbacks, I can't believe all those people are getting fired. Hey I think I saw your name on there"
DO NOT break the dead pan and just pleasurably absorb the slow dawning of fear across this simpletons facial features.
Your move, Mr. Concelmo.
I see you got the memo!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We skew toward "your face" jokes and horrible puns.

My buddy at work right now is Dragon Quest IV. It just speaks to me in strange accents.
Incidentally, they find my oh-so-real pleas for death at the system they make me develop for *hilarious*. Sick bastards.
