Bring a random object to work ideas funny enough to keep
Every object is light, blunt and hard to break: nothing sharp, nothing alive, no food that spoils and nothing a manager would send home. The joke is the line under it, so learn that before you walk in.
Where to look at home
After your first press, open the All objects list to draw from one place: the kitchen, the garage, the toy box, the back of a cupboard, or things that fit in a bag.
Tips
- Say the line once, with a straight face, then put the object on your desk and carry on working.
