The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 22, 2021

They don’t call it a bullhorn for nothing…..

The master’s voice.

After that first blast who will be able to hear?

Nice try, Brutus!! Now, get back to “work!!”

;-)

He who doesn’t hear that is deaf.

Go home, Brutus. You won’t be productive with that ringing in your ears.

I’m surprised that Chiefey has to use a bullhorn to make himself heard as loud and forceful as he is.;-D

Why do I have a sudden urge to get in my car just to pull it over to the side of the road? I think the chief used to be a police officer, but found the job was not enough of a challenge, so he decided to manage Brutus instead.

What is this, 1970? I mean that would not only explain the office intercom and bullhorn, but the clothes.

Some years back, prior to the days when every employee had email, I worked at a large government employer that had a PA system. There was a heavily promoted organization wide event coming up, and it was regularly being advertised with announcements — at least once and sometimes twice a day.

They were all the same recorded announcement, opening with “Hi, I’m (insert title and name of head of the place).” I observed to some friends that the repetition was making people tune it out, so I… helpfully suggested that to my friends the recording be modified a bit, to open with “Hi, I’m (insert title and name of head of the place), and I’m not wearing any pants!”

My humble idea was met with great acclaim among my friends, so much so that we regularly referred to him as “pantsless”. At our Halloween Party that year, one of us even dressed as him, not wearing pants (but several pairs of underwear, so he could pull off one and have another set under it.)

might need something a lot bigger, try a stereo with a mic. :D

PA systems can be fun. Especially when you can get the operator to page Ester Bunny or Dick Hertz or any other entry in the Ministry of Silly Names.

The boss calls it a cost saving measure!

Or you could use your megaphone, whichever is most annoying……

Let the Karaoke Party… begin!

(˘O˘)

You shouldn’t have thrown the intercom box out the window.

I had a boss that was on the intercom a lot-I decided he liked the sound of his own voice. :(

Wants to hear his own voice reverberate throughout the halls not just in his head.

Immediately file a claim for hearing loss.

That will teach you to be a brown nose Brutus.

He’s so soft-spoken…

That’ll be good for the tinnitus.

Didn’t “now hear this” used to be part of Veeblefester’s nameplate or something? When’s the last time we saw that?

Music for employees’ ears.
