Joke of The Day
An executive in one of those doggy Financial Centre dot.com type businesses was in a quandary. He had to get rid of one of his staff. He had narrowed it down to one of two people, Janet or Jack. It would be a hard decision to make, as they were both equally qualified and both did excellent work. He finally decided that in the morning whichever one used the water cooler first would have to go. Janet came in the next morning, hugely hung-over after partying all night. She went to the cooler to get some water to take an aspirin and the executive approached her and said:
"Janet, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off."
Janet replied, "Could you jack off, I have a terrible headache."
Quote of The Day
"Brewers enjoy working to make beer as much as drinking beer instead of working."
