Friday's entries:

My suggestion is...

If I were you, I would not mention "Dress Code" to Petersen again.

Or....

Maybe that is a business suit in his country.

Thanks

More caption contest news, as it happens...

[Bill Rodgers]

"I told you outsourcing would hurt us one day."

[cherry]

I'm with you Marty, you out sold him but the last time someone disagreed with Stan Lord of Sales he cut their heads off.

[cherry]

The pay here is excellent, Bill but this hostile environment is more than I bargained for.

[cherry]

Oh Oh, you called him Stan again,...it's Sam Lord of Sales.

[brenda h]

Don't let Sammy hear you boy! Remember what he to Jim last month? And Jim is still in the hospital.

[brenda h]

Don't tell me Sammy is in charge of sales this month? We're doom!

[brenda h]

Don't let Sammy hear you boy! Remember what he did to Jim last month? And Jim is still in the hospital.

Here are the entries since my Friday update. I didn't think about this last week, but with the mail on hold for the MLK holiday, looks like only our cyber-entries will make this week's cut. Hmm. "Cut." That could be a pun this time...

"WHO DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THE CUTS, SAM -OR-I?" "DO YOU THINK HE'S THE REAL HORSESHOE OR JUST ANOTHER RINGER?" "HE WON'T MAKE THE CUT; IF HE WERE A REAL SAMURI, HE WOULDN'T HAVE ENGLISH 'S's !" J. Smyth, Hollywood

"You just know, without asking, that the new guys are no longer trained thru Dale Carnegie."

OR

"I want whatever he's drinking!"

OR

"Thanks to our new oversees consolidation, I'll bet that is Maude's last male-bashing joke."

too late for last week's cartoon, but this is what i had:

"Boy, forget to apply your flea control one stinkin month and already i got the
flea bureau of investigation on my haunches!"

For this week lets try:

"Man, all of these motivational speakers are exactly alike, with their samarai swords
and their funky pith helmets".

Dan,

1. Man! And we thought that the Russians were hard to deal with.

2. And we thought that the Chinese were hard to deal with!

3. Well, my mission statement is: "Get out of this negotiation alive."

4. I don’t think our offer is being well received.

5. I hope that Charlie over there is praying for us, too.

6. Are you sure this is going to save Force Protection?

7. Wow! Now the writers’ guild is really getting nasty.

8. Idiot! I said, "I wanted a ham on rye."

Bob Tilidetzke

"Did he just say:"YOUR FIRED!"

or

1. "Bob needs to lay off the SUSHI!"

2."Bob replacement was made in China, I'm voting this year!!"

3".This gives new meaning to the phrase HEAD HUNTER!"

4."I don't care how good the new guys manicure looks I'm not getting one!

More afternoon entries...

Here are a few:

1. I've heard of cutting back on staffing, but this is ridiculous!

2. If I produced those those kind of numbers....I would commit "hara kiri" too!

3. I hate when the boss comes back from those yearly National meetings!

Marilyn Oakes from North Charleston

1. Sam's large horseshoe is keeping him off balance...
no wonder his Mission Statement is off!!

2. Sam will have to have all the good luck he can muster
up for this quarter!!

3. Sam really thinks that horseshoe that he's trotting
around will give him good luck!

4. See ,Bob, it says right here "No machetes allowed in
the board room."

5. See, Bob, Sam's 4th quarter goals are the same
as his 3rd quarter goals; he had better get a
larger good luck charm!

Hi, here are some entries for "Conference Room":

"Just turn the chart upside down, he'll never know the difference."

"Did I mention that I found the immunity idol?"

"I think I liked our pointy haired boss better."

"Just remember to compliment his horse-shoe thingy, works every time."

"I had always heard that Hillary had a twin brother"

"He's just angry 'cause they put him in the WEST"

"Really, it'll happen so fast you won't even feel a thing."

"Are you sure you couldn't come up with anyone else for our fourth this weekend?"

Thanks,

My caption entry is: "My my, the boss has gone satanic - Sure pity the North rep who didn't show."

Joe Polking

For publication:

"Don't you think we'd better let her lead sales figures next month?"

"What territory does she cover?"

"She must really have to work a tough territory."

"Who's going to argue with that kind of logic?"

"I don't think we can sell this 'look' even to today's kids."

"I know how the boss feels, but don't you think she is a little far-out for the daycare spokesperson?"

And probably not for publication:

"I kind of like her look."

"Can you imagine a weekend with her?"

"Is she hot or what?".

"Reminds me of my first wife."

"I have never been so turned in in my whole life."

Perry Hudel, Summerville

I'll check back just before 5.
