Brevity by Dan Thompson for July 14, 2021

It’s shear madness working here.

I hate it when my work is all cut out for me!

Where is the Rock?

Just don’t cut any corners, and you’ll be alright.

It’s fun at first, but it gets dull after a while.

And don’t go running around the joint.

“Hey, baby! Those legs go allll the way up, don’t they?”

On a scissors kick, here.

If his work is already cut out, why do they need him?

OH… he must be the owner’s son… he doesn’t have to do any work.

He can concentrate on being, in quaint terms, a gay blade around the office.

He does cut a fine figure…. but he’s certainly not the sharpest tool in the box.

Just sits at his desk, crossing and uncrossing his legs, and rarely gets to he point.

If you try to get him to work, he gets snippy.

Fairly useless, but his father, whose looks he inherited, would come unhinged if they fired him.

you can tell by looking at him he’ll just try to cut out of work early…

The staff are really a bunch of dolls.

You can’t tell the cookie cutter staff apart.

Then I guess my work is done here.

I think I would be worried about job security – after all if you are scissors and your work is already cut out for you what else do you have to do?

There’s always an office cut up.

Get to work, Ms Guillotine.

The employees are having separation anxiety.

Just don’t run.
