Laughter is the best medicine. I’ll share my moment of very high LoF (likelihood of Failure), and you’ll figure out of way to laugh regardless it is funny or not.

Me: I am not looking forward to my annual performance review, last year was tough.
Boss: I understand it. Look on the bright side, it is a career calibration.
Me: Now you are talking. Do you think -20% to +10% is a good calibration goal for last year?

Share your punch line with us.

Me: Son, go check what’s your after school activity today on the calendar.
Son: Dad, why do you always spell swim as S-W-M-M!

Me: Boss, how do you know our model results are right?

Boss: Let me think…. I’ve been here for 10 years and I am still not getting sued by a client.

Me: Boss, the model says the discharge rate is 51.235cfs, why do you round it up to 51?

Boss: (Look up at me over the top of his reading glasses), Mel, we are not building a watch here. It is a pond.
