Worst argument for working in an office vs telecommuting, ever

Some people are lucky enough to WORK FROM HOME.  They think that just because they’re home all day, that really is like a vacation day and they can spend the entire time running errands or taking care of house projects under the guise of “working”.

Others take their telecommuting a bit more seriously, and end up working longer hours than their office-bound counterparts in order to retain the flexibility of maintaining a home office.

How many times per day do you fart?

Everybody farts.

The question is, can you catch someone else in the act?  Look around the office – do you have a serial farter in your group?

Why not propose a game with your co-workers: whoever can fart the most without being caught wins the prize money.  It’s a game that everyone can play!

Men still don’t wash their hands in the office bathroom

Office bathrooms are usually a stinky, awful mess.

You have any number of people who don’t wipe down counters, pick up paper towels off the floor.  And is there really a need in an adult environment to have to post a sign that says, “do not flush paper towels, they will clog the toilet”?  How many people are really doing this?  Who’s taking paper towels into the toilet stall in the first place?  Are they really that much more comfortable than the typical office toilet paper to use?  Really?  REALLY?

The most ridiculous toilet ever made

They say that you get more money on home resales by investing your money in two places: the kitchen and the bathroom.

But sometimes, as you walk through people’s homes, you have to ask yourself what could have possessed someone to make the decisions they did on various home designs and features.

Would you rather use the bathroom or have Internet access?

When was the last time you flew on an airplane?

If you’re a recent traveller, then you already know all the ins-and-outs of airplane features and add-on costs. You carry your own luggage, bring your own snack, supply your own headphones.

For you, the airplane is merely a means of getting from Point A to Point B, and isn’t intended to be a luxurious place to relax for a few hours.

Proof that you can pee in the ocean

Web Watch knows that swimming in the ocean isn’t for everyone.  If you think about it, you’re swimming in the same water that billions (billions of trillions?) of fish use as their personal bathroom every day.

Have you ever wondered why the ocean water is unusually warm on some days compared to others?  It’s not because the sun warms the water — it’s because there’s more fresh pee in your immediate area than normal.

How much poo does a hippo produce a day?

It’s a simple math problem:

You have a hippo.  You need to know how much poo a hippo produces a day.

What’s your process to determine this?

Let’s think this one through a bit, shall we?  It’s not like you can ask a hippo how much they weigh, let alone get the hippo up onto a scale at the end of the day.

So what’s a hippo poop researcher to do?

How to pee during a filibuster

The rules of a filibuster are quite clear — you can usually speak for as long as you want, as long as you do stay on topic and don’t leave the floor.

In Texas, you’re not even allowed to lean or sit.  It’s not easy to continually talk about a specific topic for hours on end, let alone do it without a bathroom break.

So it’s the inevitable question: CAN YOU PEE DURING A FILIBUSTER?
