Man, these OSHA requirements are getting out of hand.
The boss felt obligated to give his kid a job and this is all he is qualified to do.
I guess this explains the woody station wagon out front.
Who knew water coolers had undertow?
Is it just me or has Roberts been acting a little strange since he was assigned the Coppertone account?
Typical - I wanted some of those round mints with the holes, and they sent me this.
Don't drink too much water...that dude's crazy
What I lack in humor, I’ll make up in frequency this month…
>I tell you, Pete, these cutbacks just plain suck. First we lose the cappuccino maker, and now our former Baywatch hotty has been replaced by ‘Hulk Hogan’ over here.
>The new guy makes YOU uncomfortable? During my afternoon nap yesterday, he tried to rescue me with ‘mouth-to-mouth.’
>When it’s my turn to be “water guard,” I am SO drawing the line at wearing Spandex.
1. Well, it's sure cut down on the horseplay around here.
2. Ya, I smell it too! Kinda like suntan lotion.
3. Phil in Human Resources says he had the most experience "monitoring those using the water".
4. And that's the boss's nephew. Be thankful he's only here for the summer.
5. Bill's insufferable since he won the big office pool!
6...and if you even think about filling up a coffee pot you get the megaphone.
7. Drink up quick! He's about ready to launch into another Rudy Vallee number.
8. Part of the "office life's a beach" campaign I guess.

1) "26,714 days without a work-related accident. It's not just luck, my friend."
2) "Yes, Bob, some DO say it's Orwellian. But we're proud of our accident-free record."
3) "Think that's strange? Check out the men's room!"
- Craig Jensen
From Robbie Krescanko:
"New company rules for the water cooler...guess you can be sued for anything these days".
"I wish I could say that this is the stupidest thing management's done this week."
Bend down slowly, or he'll yell "No diving!"
Have you met the new guy from the Malibu office?
The boss seems to think this will help cut down on web surfing.
Jesse Tipping - Yeah, he's been around ever since Tom got caught "relieving himself in the ocean, wink, wink."
he wants to know where out lifejackets are
He says there's been a shark sighting. In this office? He ain't kidding.
"Oh,I'm nuts huh? Well..oh,
Shhh..the secretaries are coming for their lunch H20 "Bossman wants to prove that company psychotherapists' "womanizing,no chance to climb the coorperate ladder" theory wrong and show her they love his water cooler jokes.
Now move back,I gotta pull the cooler plug and yell"loose hot wire on the floor!"..when they all climb the gaurd chair as Miss Suit walks back in with the gaurd and see's it; ..guess who gets YOUR window cubicle?..he-hee
1. "Aye, he's harsh, but fair. Yarr."
2. "Please tell me you can see that, too."
3. "The cups are over there by the large dorsal fin."
4. "His methods may be unorthodox, Earl, but the number of accidental drownings have been cut in half this week already."
yeah, I got nothing... :-(
"Step away from the water cooler"
Just play along. He's convinced Rhonda in accounting that tomorrow is bikini day.
Hey, you're the one who asked the temp agency to send someone to help us keep our heads above water.
department: black ops
field test: 37 (politician finder)
codename: oblivious
stimuli: audio/visual (manned lifeguard post in office setting)
subject: arthur flatbottom
technician: phoenix1
observations: subject's only comments when approached at watercooler, "man, my shoulder itches!".
technician comments: it's a wrap boys we've got the next president.
YEAH, THE BOSS TOLD LARRY THE WORKOHOLIC IT WAS COMPANY POLICY THAT EVERYONE HAD TO TAKE THEIR YEARLY VACATION. THEN HE SUGGESTED HE MIGHT ENJOY SOMEPLACE NICE BY THE WATER.
yeah, there was a mix-up at the job fair. right now Ted from accounting is on a beach in San Diego.
Hey, I know she's hot but you have to admit there's been a lot of weird stuff going on since
Colonel Nelson started dating that Ginny chick !
"I think he pees in the water."
That's Mr. Wilson, the big chair man. He can be rather loud, but something about him tells me he CAN save the company.
He was a sight-unseen hire off of Monster.com...and boy, is he!
"The people who brought him in are the people in charge of our pension plan."
Every time I bend down to get water, this guy over there uses his horn to make "tootie" sounds.
"Wanna see him save me?"
OK, on the count of three, yell "SHARK!"
Jerry COMPLETELY misunderstands the idea of an office pool.
All I said was, I thought the water tasted of a little chlorine, and the next thing you know, HE shows up.
You should see him do laps in the thing.
Hey, I thought he was crazy when he brought in the chair and started taking his breaks up there, but chicks DO dig a guy in uniform.
Everyone in the office stays fully hydrated. Jerry takes water safety VERY seriously.

Yarg... Van Gogh had his “blue” period, Monet had water lilies, and I like to think of this as the beginning of me “wicked sea serpent” phase.
