内容简介
The photocopier has often been credited with "revolutionizing" office
work, but it s never been acknowledged as the cause of a revolution in office
humour. Until now. For with the dawn of the copier came a proliferation of
cartoons, jokes, spoofs, fables, and satires about life at the office. Hardly a
day has passed since the first machine was plugged in, that some company
comic hasn t sneaked up to it to run off ten copies of the latest piece of
underground humour.
Workers have always poked fun at the boss, the workplace, their jobs, the
system, and themselves. Anonymously, Swivel-Chair Philosophers and
Coffee-Break Cartoonists have verbally and pictorially folded, spindled, and
mutilated every aspect of the 9 to 5 haul. Who are these mysterious wise guys
and girls? No one knows. They re folk humorists in three-piece suits. Sit-
down comics in silk blouses and designer jeans. Corporate hecklers in
overalls.
No business or industry is safe. Anonymous office humour has shown up
in High-Tech puzzle palaces, farm machinery factories, teachers staffrooms,
church vestries, TV newsrooms and salesmen s sample cases. No
underground network of radical pamphleteers could hold a candle to the
distribution network of these silly subversives. Some of our examples have
been found ~ts close as the corner petrol station and as far away as a
prestigious bank in Brisbane, Australia.
Here, for the first time, is a collection of the best in anonymous office
humour. If you ve ever worked in an office, if you ve ever had a boss, if your
career, financial future, and mental health have ever been in the hands of
"upper management", you re going to feel at home in these pages.
