Bad Sayings
There's a message board as you come into the office. They'll put up things like "Welcome Company X" when we have visitors coming in or "Product Y Classes Are Being Held In The Training Room" and stuff like that. When there's nobody due to visit and no other message to be displayed they put up quotations. Some are good, some aren't. I have a problem with the one that is up right now:

The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.
Isn't this comparable to saying "Our product blows monkey chunks. We have a shit load to do before we can pass this crap off as worthwhile"?

I used to have a job that included "message board" duties. That task got old rather quick so I would try and pick quotes that poked a finger at either one of the employees or at the company. Maybe your message board person is doing the same thing?

In my old company we had one of those felt boards on a mic stand with the plastic letters. I'd rearrange the letters when I could get away with it to make something funny instead of lame. Can you get to the letters? There's plenty to work with in that message. Just hide the ones you don't use, I'm sure they have more.

Neat idea, Rick. Unfortunately it's in a locked case.
