Here is some business humour to brighten up your day.
Dont forget, it is always good to have the odd joke up your sleeve for the times when your presentation is being held to an audience that are about to fall asleep.
They are also great ice-breakers when you are sitting at that lunch with others and only furtive glances are being thrown around.
Humour is also a great way to get a point across in a nice manner.

Murphy's Law
Recently, while cleaning out the garage, I came across a box full of old papers. In it, was a photocopy of a news article from 1967 by a man called D L Klipstein. He wrote about Murphy's Law.
It was so good, I decided to make a short video of two sections of the document - so have a little fun with Murphy's Law!
