    I rather like all of these — was pleased with myself that I could tie in #1 and #2 because they are from separate years (the advantage of a cartoon file). If someone put a gun to my head (even though I am no longer working in corporate America), I would have to choose #4. Something about it captures the current zeitgeist.

    #1 probably my favorite although I love #3 and can relate. #4 is missing sharks circling, lol.

      Right on, Neola. Sharks would have been a perfect corporate America addition in #4❣️

    #4. There is something about the pace of that joke that I absolutely love. It’s almost like a Bob Newhart delivery.

    #1 is so close to real life. Never at work, but I’ve hidden drinks in cups for outdoor events.

      I confess as well, Adrienne, that I’ve hidden drinks in cups for outdoor events; most often and specifically for the talent portion of the Little Miss, Junior Miss and Miss Greenbelt pageants every Labor Day. Unfortunately or fortunately, the pageant is no longer featured on the Labor Day Main Stage, but at the American Legion Hall. However, when it was on the Main Stage, I had to be a bit intoxicated. I mean, how many times do I have to listen to a tortured piano performance of Beethoven’s, “Fur Elise” or and even more tortured violin performance of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”?

    I LOVE cartoon Friday. I hate martinis and #1 has me laughing out loud. Actually they are all good. Yay cartoon file.

      Thanks, Charlotte. I knew there was a reason why I saved these cartoons and categorized them according to subject in my proprietary cartoon file!

    I like #4. It’s funny, as well as serious! I try hard (sometimes consciously) to NOT be that person. It’s so important to really listen; you never know when it might save a life or make someone feel great!

      A compassionate response, Laura which always seems to come easily to you. Thank you.🙏 💕
