Before she was married to my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law shared an apartment with a friend who had a parrot. That parrot would spout out with some real zingers. Her roommate had a boyfriend named Joey who was apparently pretty "frisky." When guests were over, the bird would say stuff like "Joe-eeeee, stop it."
 
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it is physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human being because even though it is a very large mammal, its throat is too small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Growing somewhat exasperated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human, it was physically impossible.
The little girl replied, "when I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah."
The teacher asked, "what if Jonah went to Hell?"
The little girl responded, "Then you ask him."
 
Four moles end up burrowing an tunnel into a bakery one early morning. The first one says, “Mmm, I smell a wonderful cinnamon aroma near.”

The second one replies, “Oh yes, I smell chocolate and strawberries!”

The third makes his way up and cries, “Ahh, I love the scent of cloves and nutmeg!”

The fourth takes in a big whiff and sighs, “All I smell is molasses.”

Ha! Here some of the terms for bullshit bingo include:

kicking goals
at the coalface
touching base
stakeholders
capacity building
moving forward
if you will
engagement
transparency
connectivity
results oriented

Some of these may be a little out of date because I have managed to avoid being in a meeting for some years now. I've never worked in an office full-time - only ever been an interloper. I only ever worked in an office part-time when I was a student. I quickly worked out that I would be extremely unpopular in an office environment because I'm not good at sitting still or sitting quietly.
