Groan at office humor

I'll let you tell him that. He isn't in today and I won't see him till Monday. By then I'll have quit groaning at how bad the joke was and have moved on to more entertaining ventures.

I once put an "Intel Inside" sticker on a Mac, does that count?
Prior to the Intel switch that would have been funny... now its just sad. Adding a Vista Compatible sticker to one would be just plain mean.

Not to mention factually correct.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I was away from the office yesterday and someone, specifically a mechanical engineer, made a bunch of little sticky notes that he put over all C# book titles I have and wrote "Db" (D flat). How many of you have faced or created such humor? Tell the story.
I once changed the logo of our bugtracker web site to read "WünschDirWas" (roughly: Make a wish). Unfortunately, it was so close visually that noone noticed :(

Some people in Italy wanted to use it but sent him an email asking him to change the name. Completely tongue in cheek his response was " I don't care". Sadly they didn't get.

The most humor I get in my office these days in my 2 year old son running through with his diaper off.

M e neither :( Is "I don't care" considered a typical fascist attitude?

I've got one on my slide rule, with the sign under it saying, "in case of power outage, take down and use"

My dad had that in his computer science classroom. "In case of emergency, break glass" with one of his nicer slide rules in the glass case. He thought it was cute. ;)
