You are put in charge of managing the latest off-site entertainment for the permies' team-building event. You build a large perspex container, with a high-torque, high-speed belt sander as the floor for this container. Do you oil the walls, or give them half a chance of crawling out over the bodies of their rapidly-diminishing colleagues?

The managing director is doing a floor walk around clientco, and is approaching your desk. Think fast - what item will you grab from your desk to maim him before the permies can intervene? An extra point for the funniest answer.Comment

No oil, but place a large red button near the top than can be reached by climbing on the bodies of the fallen. It doesnt actually stop the sanding belt, just makes it run in the opposite direction. Not that there is anything to infomr them of this.Originally posted by realityhack View PostYou are put in charge of managing the latest off-site entertainment for the permies' team-building event.

d) every time he utters one of the phrases shout "Kerching". When he asks why tell him how much you are earning whilst sitting there. Then grab a roll of used £50 notes, set fire to them and shove them down his throat.Originally posted by realityhack View PostYou're in a meeting, and one of the permies starts spouting management bulltulip, using phrases like 'low hanging fruit, raising the bar, getting on the bus' etc.
Do you:
a) Lunge over the desk and stab him in the eyes with two HB pencils
b) Force-feed him one of the conference phones
c) Stamp repeatedly on his head until it is but a mushy pulp, or
d) Other - please state.Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo remComment

On a side note I think RH has been spending too much time reading "Grimtooth's Traps"
