Reddit mentions: The best business humor books

Welcome!! I'm sure you're going to enjoy this community: it's super welcoming, and everyone is so nice! Tell me a little about yourself! What are your likes and dislikes?

I'd love to win the movies in this order:

1. Silver Linings Playbook
   
2. Les Mis
   
3. Argo
   
   EDIT: I don't know what I'll be buying next from Amazon, but I just bought this mini voodoo kit for my friend! He's taking finals right now, so I figured he needed a voodoo kit in case his professors don't give him the grades he wants :P

I went into teaching without an education degree 3 weeks into the school year after a teacher quit. I knew it would be tough so I did two things:

1. Read a book on teaching
   https://www.amazon.com/How-Teach-Phil-Beadle/dp/1845903935
   
   
2. Sat down with a friend who was a teacher and took notes while he rattled off tips and tricks.
   
   In the end, management is the most important thing year 1 and the book as well as my friend were great resources. First year teaching can feel overwhelming but it gets easier every year when you figure out how to plan a good lesson and your personal teaching style. If any of you have questions let me know. I can also mail you out that book I bought (the one linked) if you are short on cash if you can pay shipping.

There is an amazing coffee table book called Mail-Order Mysteries that show ALL of the old mail away novelty things and what they really turned out to be. Great read and stroll down memory lane of seeing the ads in every comic and wondering what it would be like to have my own money printing press or realistic wolfman mask. lol

> Honestly, the best way to get this sort of information might be to directly contact some graduate students of PIs you are interested in and ask them of their opinions.

The door opened, and it sounded like a house falling to the guilty pair. Nozick jumped around to see Harold Tardiff’s head protruding into the laboratory.
“Hi,” Harold said.
“Jesus Christ,” Laura breathed. “You scared the crap out of me.”
Harold’s tentative smile faded. “Sorry. I’m looking for Professor Shaftner. Is he here?”
Nozick leaned back on Laura’s desk, crossing his legs to hide the bag, as though Harold might have super penetrating vision. “Why?”
“I have an appointment.”
“Are you a new grad student?” Laura asked.
Harold eased the rest of his body into the room.
“Yeah. Do you guys mind if I ask you a couple of -”
Nozick put up a hand, stopping the traffic. “Don’teven think about it.”
“But-“
“You bust in here and asking us questions? To you it’s nothing. To somebody who’s already here working, your questions are like a green kryptonite fucking jockstrap on Superman.”
Harold looked confused.
“Look,” continued Nozick, “you’re eventually going to ask the million-dollar question, which is: ‘How do you like working for Shafter?’ or something along that line. Now how are we supposed to answer that? Think about it. Suppose that working for Shaftner sucks ass. If we’re honest, and tell you that, then you probably don’t come to work for him. That means we have to work for him longer, maybe years longer, because he can’t replace us – with you. Or we could lie to you, which is more probable, to make working for Shaftie seem like the most desirable thing ever. So you will come to work for him, so the lab will be crowded, so we can write our thesis and get out of the hellhole. Comprende?”
“I - I guess,” Harold stammered.
“Or suppose that Shafter has a ton of money to pay us for doing research so we don’t have to teach. Do we want you coming in and getting some of that? Hell no. So we tell you that working for Shafter is the worst fucking idea you’ve ever had."

Your impression of my blog art isn't that crazy. I always thought that Falcor looked like he was covered with sperm...

As far as these requested mini-stories, the supply of material never ends. There is always more to write. :)

On that note, I suppose that it's apropos to suggest some alternative reading...

"Then We Came to the End" by Joshua Ferris is a pretty entertaining read.

Syrup by Maxx Barry

About a young marketing graduate who achieves success marketing a new soda in a black can called FUKK which leads to the creation of a feature length advertisement movie.

Check out the book Mail Order Mysteries that has pictures of both the ads from all those comic things, as well as pictures of the actual products. Fun stuff.

I can recommend the book “Mail-Order Mysteries" that was referenced. An even better read than this article :)

I hate these types of comments because it paints an inaccurate image of what VICE is. A virtuous new organization.

To me that’s the last thing they are. I’m glad to see the expansion into this medium but let’s not forget about the Fat Jew talking about his small dick life.

That’s really what VICE is. I mean it is called “Vice” for a reason.

I remember what VICE actually was like and arguably still is.

It’s everything terrible and great about our world.

It’s good food, intense and dramatic news, crazy/stupid youth culture trends, and picture collections of a dude fucking a PB&J sandwich. [couldnt find the link]

When I was in college in 2005 this is what VICE was:

A teenage girl holding a pack of smokes and a black eye.

Lastly, this is their current front page literally illustrating my point.

I believe they also have one on how to sell drugs.

Edit: found it.
I love the author’s names, too.

Off the top of my head, I would have to say Then We Came To The End by Joshua Ferris. It's written in the first person plural, yet manages not to be distracting. It also captures what it feels like to work in a floundering office environment.

OP here: so glad I found this sub! I love sharing this story and I actually included it (with some other stories from the linked blog) in my book. I've used the tactic many times since!

I came across this book a while ago might be of some help.

Sorry for the mobile link.

Yeah it sells for about 40 cents http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0446692824/ref=sr_1_1_twi_pap_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1458068576&sr=8-1&keywords=Vice+dos+%26+don%27ts

Ha! I remember coming across a parody of that book called Who Cut The Cheese, which at the time I found both hilarious and scarily accurate.

I didn't buy it at the time; a move I have regretted ever since.

meh. take note of who the author is. gavin mcinnis is one of the founders of vice magazine (he has since split from them). his writing has always been super controversial and crazy.

rather than reading his ridiculous opinion articles, i'll stick to reading & re-reading his hilarious and completely un-PC vice do's and dont's
