Whether you are searching for work or honing your career skills, you need to laugh. A little humor goes a long way. Relieve stress here with good, clean (and sometimes corny) work jokes.
James goes to his boss's office.
"Boss," he says, "we're doing some major house-cleaning at home tomorrow and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff."
"We're short-handed, James" the boss replies. "I can't give you the day off."
"Thanks, boss," says James "I knew I could count on you!"
The boss returned from lunch in a good mood and called the whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had picked up. Everybody except one girl laughed uproariously.
"What's the matter?" grumbled the boss. "Haven't you got a sense of humor?"
"I don't have to laugh," she replied. "I'm leaving Friday."
A factory owner said to a store owner, "Thank you, Mr. Jones, for your patronage. I wish I had twenty customers like you."
"Gosh, it's nice to hear that, but I'm kind of surprised," admitted Jones. "You know that I argue every bill and always pay late."
The factory owner said, "I'd still like twenty customers like you. The problem is, I have two hundred."
A guy walks into the human resources department of a large company and hands the executive his application. The executive begins to scan the sheet, and notices that the applicant has been fired from every job he has ever held.
"I must say," says the executive, "your work history is terrible. You've been fired from every job."
"Yes," says the man.
"Well," continues the executive, "there's not much positive in that."
"Hey!" says the guy as he pokes the application.
"At least I'm not a quitter."
