The Gazette continues its hiatus. Or not.

You'd think there'd be plenty to smile about in the oil and gas company offices around here, but apparently some folks still need a little assistance in that department. Here's how they're putting on a happy face despite the threat of windfall profits taxes, congressional investigations, and Sarbanes-Oxley regulations:

Workload getting to you?? Feeling stressed?? Too many initiatives cascading down??

Here is the new low cost way to cope!
  • Take 2 paperclips and 2 elastic bands. (Fig 1)

  • Assemble them as shown on the picture. (Fig. 2)

  • Apply the construction as visualized in Fig 3.

Enjoy your day! This piece of office equipment will help you to reach the end of the day with a smile on your face!

This device evokes scenes from A Clockwork Orange or, perhaps, Brazil.

Tip of the hat and a crooked smile to Sherry for the email forward. She knows much more about how this came about than I'm willing to share on these pages. ;-)

And we just saw "The Dark Knight" yesterday. Wow.
