Do You Hate Your Job?


Even for those of you that don't work, you will enjoy this one

You have to read all the way to the end. When it comes a day and you have "I Hate My Job day"


Try this out:

On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson

Be very sure you get J and J brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed

Change into comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not break or chip.

Now the fun part begins.

Take out the instructions from the box and read it carefully... You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

"Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson &Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized"


Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times "I am so F glad I don't work in the thermometer quality control department at J & J



Now HAVE A NICE DAY guys and do what you do best AND REMEMBER THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE ASS THAN YOURS!

ONE more thing to remember... if you don't got a smile on your face and a sense of humor...Then you just an old boring fart and maybe you should go and work for J & J ! ! ! ! !

Re: Do You Hate Your Job?


That was good, but are you sure your a contractor though - reading all the directions, inc. the small print?

What's with the purple text? Trying to insinuate something about their testers?

Hey wait a minute - why did you get one in the first place?

I am sure all of you have heard this one:
What is the difference between an oral and an anal thermometer?














The taste!

You know you're a contractor if:

1. You have more need for vaseline than shaving cream.
2.

For yourself. Give some to clients to use on yourself.
