Even More Wall Street Journal Humor - My Weekly Foray into Highbrow Hijinks

Another Post Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal - I kid Rupert Murdoch a lot when we see each other at the Friar's Club but his rag does supply an endless assortment of crap for my blog.

The Wall Street Journal has a daily cartoon called Pepper and Salt that I really, really don't like. Apparently, rich Wall Street scumbags have their own unique form of humor that is not funny. Here's today's cartoon.



This cartoon makes me feel stupid -- and poor. Those are middle-aged, white men so we know it's heaven. Does this mean that Mother Theresa is going to look like herself, old and haggard or like Gina Lollobrigida? Despite the theological implications, it's still not funny.

Remember this is a "business" comic for Wall Street Journal readers that is officially housed in the collections of the Harvard Business School Library assuring that future generations of MBA assholes will have no sense of humor. Here's my attempt at funnier versions. If you are the president of a major university and want to house a collection of my work, e-mail me.






And today's winner so far:

As always, I will continue to add captions to this post all day until I think of something funny. You are invited to help but you won't because leaving a comment is too much damn effort, bitch.

UPDATE

At the water cooler, Rickey suggested that "something about golden parachutes might be funny if you thought it out and framed it properly." I turned that incomplete nugget of inspiration into this (and next time could you leave a comment so it looks like somebody reads this fricking blog):

    Offensive but funny, old friend.

    Do not allow those dunderheaded defenders of a doctrinal diety dull your wit.

    Howabout?

  2. Bill,

    Thanks for the comment!

    The other day I was trying to think of female criminals for a bit and it was hard. Are there many women down there?

  3. Bob,

    Hell is a sausage fest. The ratio must be 30 to 1 at least.

    I've got a bit of problem with your improper use of "foray." No dictionaries down here but I believe Webster's defines it as "a sudden attack or raid in order to seize or steal."


    Howabout?

    "I knew that Goldman Sachs treated their employees well but this is one helluva wash room!"

    Do you feel that the exclamation point is a bit much?
