Usage Guidelines
I am sorry to report that in my workplace there are other men who have less than perfect aim when it comes to using the urinal. By the end of the day, there's a puddle on the floor. Finally, I made this sign and hung it above the urinal. It was such a hit that I decided to post it here. Maybe you need one for your workplace?

Signs
A few street signs, as well as signs for pubs that might be interesting to visit. Care for a pint?

Fun With Ken Lay
What's Ken Lay been up to? Where has he been? We dig up the dirt... and if we can't find any, we'll manufacture it!

Alternative Christmas Songbook 
Sometimes, without warning, (and especially during the holidays) I'll just break into song. This generally isn't so bad , except that I tend to make up my own lyrics. Try these during your next round of Christmas Carols and you'll be sure to get a reaction (of some sort) from the neighbors.

Cremiser 
But of course. You're looking for an economical way to get buried, and a pine casket just won't do. Why not a budget cremation service? Why not? Huh? Because it's tasteless? Okay, then! Though, personally, I think Tupperware should look into marketing the EconoUrn. Keeps ashes fresh for decades... yum!

Victor's Secret
I'm not sure what is more disturbing -- the fact that I did this at all or that I had to stare at pictures of men in underwear for an hour for inspiration. Lucky for you, I actually took the high road on this one. The alternative was to do something named "Victoria's Secretions."

Drano SnotsAway
If you pay attention, you'll notice something interesting. Chevrolet is no longer a car, it's a brand. Likewise, companies are extending of their brands -- which is why after years of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups we suddenly have Reese's Peanut Butter.  This ad was inspired by ads for a new nasal spray named Nasalcrom. I thought, "What a stupid name! Why not a descriptive name like BoogerGone or SnotsAway?"

Ford Explosion
Ford recently introduced the Excursion, reputedly the largest Sport Utility Vehicle on the planet. If this trend continues, SUVs like the Explosion aren't too far from being introduced. Have you ever noticed how Ford names all their SUVs starting with "Ex"? (Explorer, Expedition, Excursion). I'll admit it -- the list of "other" Ford trucks is practically the whole reason for the ad.

Vitriolata
I guess I've seen one too many cubicles with Desiderata ("Go placidly among the noise and haste...") hanging proudly on the wall. Hang a copy of Vitriolata in your cube and all those visitors expecting the peaceful sentiments of Desiderata will get the real message: "Go away!"

Total Buzzword Management
What buzzwords are they using at your company these days? Productivity, Total Quality Management, Empowerment, Kaizen, Reengineering, or something else? It occurs to me that there must be a place to which your management goes to find out what buzzword to use next. Here it is -- Buzzword Management Concepts!

STARvation
The ultimate diet plan, inspired by the pictures of corpse models at DiStefano Productions. Many thanks to them for letting me use the photos. (By the way, you can buy corpse models, body parts, or a book on how to make your own at the DiStefano site). This is a sure-fire way to take off the weight and keep it off... permanently.

Claregra
The drug Claregra (rhymes with Allegra) isn't funny on it's own, but it's side effects are. Perhaps you have noticed the real advertisements for medications where you have one page telling you how wonderful they are, and a whole other page telling you the awful things that might happen to you if you take it. (Yes, I know it's the law). Claregra has great benefits, but also commensurate side effects.

Doctor Jack Kevorkian
Recommends Viagra

I'll preface this by admitting that this is in extremely poor taste. That said, it is also, in my humble opinion, damned funny (and probably the nicest looking parody I've produced to date). Yes, it's the inevitable Viagra parody, but with a twist that I don't think anyone has stumbled upon yet.  Think of the marketing possibilities!.

Helicoptrix News
One of my few non-computer related items. I created this newsletter from a fictional aerospace company in order to vent about corporate life. My favorite is the one about the cancellation of company safety programs, since "fatal accidents are cheaper for the company than those where people are injured and have to undergo rehabilitation."
