Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 23, 2020

I hope the elevator floor crushes them against the glass ceiling

Gives a whole different feel to the cliche – Given The Shaft. (Smirk!)

Notice how the technology of Heaven never surpasses the current technology of the earth?

@ Wiley yesterday. To paraphrase Lincoln " You can’t please all the people all the time ". You’re always thoughtful and I appreciate that.

Just give ‘em some Windex.

The lines are surely longer since the botched pandemic response….

And this is why the frightened pious Christian will never succeed in “life”.

Just wait until he hits the “escape” key. The floor falls out, and guess where they end up.

They should have taken the stairs.

“No, I’m not prejudiced against business. It’s just a joke.” I’m not putting words in Wiley’s mouth; I’m just saving him the trouble of saying what he always says.

No cutting in line!

Love the irony, so close you can almost touch it. Then again so near but so far. Karma has no deadline.

I suppose the elevator could be coming up.

Nice view of St. Pete’s butt, not quite close enough to kiss it so they have NO idea how to handle this situation.

They wouldn’t even get that close. Their express elevator only goes down.

We con only hope . . .

All dressed up and nowhere to go. Even Satan wouldn’t let them mess up HELL!

Whether you believe in the Bible or not, it is noteworthy of what it says about heaven. It’s upside-down. Jesus often tried to give us a warning: he was constantly overturning the proverbial apple cart (and sometime the literal money-changers’ tables) and standing the theology of the day on its head. He was an anti-establishment trouble maker.

As for me, I don’t worry about heaven or hell. I just live my life as best I can and so far, it’s been one hell of a ride (pun intended). We’ll figure it out when I get there.

I don’t think most Corporate executives are going to hell. I think they will be recycled into a union.

Reminds me of the scene from “The Dirty Dozen” where the Nasi officers, and their consorts, try to reach the grenades being tossed down the air vents…

Going down?

Recent news showed a CEO’s annual bonus of over $800,000,000. There’s not a single individual or even a group of individuals in the world worth that amount of money for what little they do in the course of a day or a year or ten years. And it seems most of them overlook the payback. However swell their lives, in the end they get the same sized hole in the ground as the people they pay too little, their photos are removed from the walls when the buildings change owners, they become an ever smaller footnote in the financial history books, and their ‘good works’ are eclipsed by the revelations of their infidelities, venality, and outright criminal behavior. Ozymandias had it easy.

That could be why the devil’s gaining ground. He has help.

I used to have a good job in the accounts payable department of a large American corporation. Then, the powers that be decided that the A/P work could be done much more cheaply in India. Goodbye, job. I won’t mention the company’s name but their initials are United Rentals (oops).

And then He presses the ‘down’ button.

What’s this anti-corporate bias? A corporation tries to produce a product or a service that people want at a competitive price.

Actually that elevator only goes down.

I think that is the elevator down…..

I can think of several executives that should be on that elevator!

Now, finally, all those old, straight white men know how it feels to be a talented and brilliant woman, person of color, gay, lesbian, transgender, or a combination of any those and trying to achieve success in the corporate jungle.

Good one, Wiley!

“.neaveH rente ot nam hcir a rof naht eldeen a fo eye eht hguorht ssap ot lemac a rof reisae si tI” – or, if you hold the Bible right side up, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven.”

Couldn’t happen to nicer guys. Where’s your “golden parachute” now? You’re going to need it.

No wonder the ride was free!

Going down.

can’t wait for the weekend again. until then have to refrain reading comments reflecting current malaise.

Going up in that elevator is a form of purgatory …

Going down!

Looks like all those in line are there because they weren’t wearing a mask. Inbound from Tulsa ?

What, they get an elevator and we had to climb all these stairs? The life of the privileged.

Basically the end of the road. Up is no longer an option.

How good is the WiFi up there?

We’re on an express elevator to hell, going down! – Aliens

‘‘Tis easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle…”

When they got Old they began giving some of their annual Interest to “Charity” to buy their way into heaven.

Nobody told them they would only get to spend a few minutes looking in the Window before they got sent on to their final destination.

The only way out is down!

I don’t want to wait that long for that sort to get their just desserts…

“Corporate Express Elevator…… Going downnnnnnnnnn.”
