Friday Funnies

Whoever once said that December is a slow month for job seekers obviously underestimated the potential for holiday madness.  (This writer probably qualifies strongly in this regard.)  Companies may put off hiring decisions until after the New Year, but that's not to say they let the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year go to waste on the interview front.  Maybe it's a desire to help during what is supposed to be a festive time of year, or maybe it's a general preference to do anything other than regular work; but whatever the reason, the interviews continue for many - and in some instances, even pick up.

And with so much running around, it's helpful to take a few moments to smile.  To that end, we submit the attached list of puns forwarded to me by a retired friend currently enjoying his life as a ski bum in Utah.  (Not jealous...not jealous...not - oh, who am I kidding here?)

Enjoy!


*****


1.  My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory...
But I got canned. Couldn't concentrate.

2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack...
But just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.

3. After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it...
Mainly because it was a sew-sew job.

4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory...
But that was too exhausting.

5. Then, tried being a Chef--figured it would add a little spice to my life...
But just didn't have the thyme.

6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it...
Couldn't cut the mustard.

7. My best job was a Musician...
But eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.

8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor...
But I didn't have any patience.

9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory...
I tried hard but just didn't fit in... 

10. I became a Professional Fisherman...
But I discovered I couldn't live on my net income. 

11. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company... 
But the work was just too draining. 

12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center...
But they said I wasn't fit for the job.

13. After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a Historian...
Until I realized there was no future in it...

14. My last job was working in Starbucks...
But I had to quit because it was the same old grind.

15. SO, I tried retirement 
AND FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!
