Here are some funny jokes from the very popular comedian and talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres:

Here are funny quotes from cartoonist, Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip, “Dilbert”, which lampoons the corporate world:

Be careful that what you write does not offend anybody or cause problems within the company. The safest approach is to remove all useful information.

Consultants have credibility because they are not dumb enough to work at your company.

Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.

I get mail; therefore I am.

I respectfully decline the invitation to join your hallucination.

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.

One way to compensate for a tiny brain is to pretend to be dead.

Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.

Remind people that profit is the difference between revenue and expense. This makes you look smart.
