Friday Wisdom – Careers

Posted on 06/18/2021 by Andrew Reynolds

I just got hired as an astronomer. My career is looking up now.

Just saw a job ad at Old McDonald’s farm. They’re looking for a new CIEIO.

My friend just got fired from the calendar factory for taking a day off.

My uncle got an award for farming. Yup, he was outstanding in his field.

I was going to put in this great joke about a job as a courier, but you might not get it.

When I was a lumberjack I cut down 523 trees. I have the exact count because I kept a log for each tree.

My friend studied to be a tailor, but dropped out when he realized he wasn’t suited for the work.

I had to quit working at the muffler shop – it was too exhausting.

My boss told me to start the presentations to our client with a joke so I put up a picture of my paycheck.

I could see myself working in a mirror factory.

My friends said I should take my career to a new level, so I put my desk in the elevator.

My career as a street fighter was short lived – broke my hand punching a sidewalk.

I was thinking of getting a job estimating the size of crowds … I wonder how many people are in that field?

    Haha. These are all great. I think the first one and the paycheck one made me snort the most. 🙂

    I love the Old McDonald’s Farm joke. I think saying that ditty is a test for Alzheimer’s.
