I had a good time doing the research for this joke.\u00a0 Spencer Johnson’s, “Who Moved My Cheese?”<\/a> is a widely popular motivational parable on how to deal with change in the workplace. I find it somewhat disturbing that the the animal Mr. Johnson chose to represent the lower echelon workers is the mouse.\u00a0 Aren’t mice the animals we trap, use for experiments and get up on a chair and scream at when we see them?\u00a0 And besides, the mouse metaphor was already taken to Pulitzer Prize winning perfection in Art Spiegelman’s, “Maus”<\/a>.\u00a0 But I digress.\u00a0 The caption to this cartoon is “Wally learns that the senior management team is given the secret companion book for ‘Who Moved My Cheese?”\u00a0 and is available on mugs, plates and bowls at my online store<\/a>.\u00a0 It would make a great gift for your boss, wouldn’t it?<\/p>\n

Again, this mug might be the perfect thing to sip coffee out of at work.\u00a0 Especially is your workplace is a lab where they mix jellyfish and monkey DNA together!\u00a0 Click here<\/a> to buy one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
