Bad Sayings, Part 2

I've mentioned before how the message board as you enter the building sprouts the occassional inane quote. It's getting uncomfortably frequent. Here's what we have now:

The most important thing that you can wear is your expression.

This is just starting to ring too close to those insufferably smug motivation posters. The most important thing you can wear is your expression? Give me a break. I've never been asked to leave a bar because of my expression. My expression has never been the defining factor in losing a job. I've never been arrested because of my expression. I'll tell you what the most important thing you can wear is: pants. Trust me on this, m'kay?

1 I agree with you about the pants. Your company needs a mysterious shipment of products from these fine people.

3 Motivational posters... ugh. Go to Demotivators.com or Despair.com My favorite: MOTIVATION If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.

4 I think it all depends on who we're talking about, don't you? I mean, with some people the single MOST important thing they can wear is a condom.

5 Good point, Kate. And unfortunately a goodly number of them don't seem to realize that.

6 Or maybe that should be "the most important thing SINGLE people should wear is a condom." I haven't used one in so long I can't remember when.
