"Fifty quid for a high visibility jacket? Why, that's day-glo robbery."

Businessman on stilts: 'I had to step over a lot of people to get where I am today.'

"Chaplain, the lord should put warning labels on some of his creations."

Child about to jump off ironing board into bath.

'The ultimate sign of success is when no one puts you on hold.'

Office meeting

Not a surprise, coming from the new boss - who looks about 6 years old.

New company policy...next time you miss a meeting I need a note from a doctor or a subpoena from a judge.

'It's okay, there's a trampoline under the snow.'

"It's all a matter of planning...."

The role of administration.

The new boss brought a sense of urgency.

'What can we do about this leadership course?'

"Hold it right there! Our legislature is currently considering new measures to protect children from the insidious ravages of cell phones in schools!"

'Mr Bluebeard is our safety officer.'

"I'm a big believer in micromanagement."

"I've made many bad decisions, not all of them are going to be popular."

"It doesn't look much like a 'witty painting' now, does it sir?"

"Bob put a chair with wheels on the table and climbed up to change a light bulb. Then the chair rolled away, Bob fell and... well, I guess we need a new industrial safety specialist."

'OK, what's the first thing we need to capture in our Job Safety Analysis?' 'Don't tick off TINY!'

"You like to take credit for other people's successes, and blame others for your mistakes. Woodly, you have management potential!"

'I'm not one to criticize. I have people for that.'

"This seems to work better for us!"

'I asked you to spread GRIT on our icy path...'

"Does anyone know where the leadership training is taking place?"

"Thank goodness, it was only 'light' reading..."
