Answer 1

Call me twisted, but I just LOVE the demotivators at despair.com
A lot of it is corporate humor, but after spending 28 years in the corporate world, I've found it's lots better to laugh than cry.

Some favorites:

Meetings:
None of us is as dumb as all of us.

Consulting:
If you're not a part of the solution,there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

Discovery:
A company that will go to the ends of the Earth for its people will find it can hire them for about 10% of the cost of Americans.

Dysfunction:
The only consistent feature in all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.

Potential:
Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up.

Wishes:
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.



And my personal favorite:

Power:
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
But it rocks absolutely, too.


Polly
