I don't know what kind of crazy mailing list I'm on, but I recently received a catalog from a company called "Despair, Inc." Their motto is "Motivational posters don't work. But our Demotivational posters don't work even better."
They do send-ups of the "motivational" posters that you see all the time and get from places likes "Successories" - let me tell you, I nearly sprayed coffee out my nose when I read some these.
A couple of examples -
Demotivation - Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all the unhappy people.
Consulting - If you're not part of the solution, there's good money to made in prolonging the problem.
Cluelessness - There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
I'm tempted to buy a few and put them up in my office to see if anyone notices!
If you want to see more, and also check out the snazzy photos that accompany the quips go to [url]www.despair.com[/url].

Some more:
Procrastination: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
Mistakes: It could be that the purpose of you life is only to serve as a warning to others.
Despair: It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.
I ordered notecards that say "Demotivation - Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is to just fire all of the unhappy people." Everyone laughs that gets a note from me.
Check out the valentine hearts and T-shirts they sell. They are wonderful!
I ordered the Pessimist's Coffee Mug for my husband. It has a fill line halfway down the mug because the glass is always half empty!
