Read THIS! Is it FUNNY?! (I won't be too offended if you think not.)
Bad Days at the Department of Digging Holes And Then Filling Them In Again

"Oh great. Another reorganization."
"I thought that since the March 6th reorganization, we were calling them 'reimaginings.'"
"Reorganization, reimagining, rewhatever. I'm just a contract employee, Matt; I don't have to savvy the lingo."
"Well, what is it this time?"
"'November 12th Confidential email to all personnel. Pursuant to a decision by the Deciding Things Division, all employees of the Department of Digging Holes And Then Filling Them In Again are now left-handed. Unless they were already left-handed in which case they are now right-handed. Ambidextrous personnel will have to use their feet.'"
"Wait, Josh. How is this going to affect the November 5th reimagining that said that all personnel have to spend at least an hour a day patting their head and rubbing their tummies?"
"I don't know. How would it?"
"Do I now pat right-handed and rub left-handed or the other way around?"
"How do you do it normally?"
"I don't do it normally."
"I guess you'll have to ask Human Personnel Resources Division. Unless you want to do it with your feet."
"I'm not that double-jointed."
"Wasn't that the October 15th reimagining?"
"I hope not, Josh."
"Hey look! They've put up a mirror by the Rube Goldberg Division's schematic for department organization so we can see it backwards. I guess they're really serious about this left-handed stuff."
"Wow, they ARE serious. I don't remember anything this serious from the Managing Management Managers Division since the Hop On One Leg When Using The Shredder reimagining."
"My left foot still gets cramps from that one."
"Yeah, mine too. Still, it was better than the I'm Pretty Sure Everybody's Going To Be Speaking Chinese Soon reimagining."
"Before my time, Matt, which makes it a reorganization."
"Well, it was something in Mandarin, but I forget what. Fortunately that one didn't last too long. Not nearly as long as the 52 Pickup reorganization."
"I heard about that one, I think."
"Heard about it, hell! You're probably still finding files under your desk from it."
"Did any of these reorganizations or reimaginings ever work?"
"Well, there was the Get Off The Employees' Backs And Just Let Them Do Their Jobs reorganization. Morale skyrocketed, customer service improved by leaps and bounds, and holes got dug and filled in again like nobody's business."
"What happened?"
"What always happens? Voters decided they'd had enough of sense and sanity and elected a nutjob governor because he sounded friendly in his TV ads. He appointed a new director who rearranged everything."
"Which reorganization was that?"
"That was the one where the Permanent Reorganization Division set up the Deciding Things Division which set up the Rube Goldberg Division."
"Ah. Those were the days."

1. It's not laugh out loud funny, but it is humorous
But I'm a trucker and I work for myself. Someone involved in a corporate cube farm might think it's funnier than I do.
