The motivation behind my status changes

There was a guy I used to work with who had a little chalkboard hanging from the wall of his office. Every day he would write a new goofy comment, and everyone would swing by in the morning to see what he wrote. Sometimes the comments were funny, sometimes serious, usually off-the-wall, but always entertaining. It was a great way to start the day before getting to the drudgery of work.

There came a day when he left and went to work somewhere else, but he left me the chalkboard. The rest of the staff expected me to carry the ball so to speak, and come up with the new words of the day. It wasn't really something I wanted to do, but I could definitely see the benefit in it so I gave it a shot.

At first I wasn't very good at it. I couldn't think of anything funny, profound, or thought provoking and I tried to pawn the job off to others I worked with. The people in my office saw that I was struggling with it, and started sending me joke books, one-liners, cleaver quotes, etc...Eventually I got the knack of it, and continued to do every day for about 17 years of my career. On my last day of work before I retired, I gave the old chalkboard to someone else, so they could continue the tradition. The beat goes on.

So when you see me change my status here, I usually post things that I wrote on the chalkboard in previous years at work. The thing about posting on a porn site is that you don't have to keep it G-rated, so some one-liners I used to edit for work I can post with filthiness included.

Anyway, if you come up with any ideas, please send them my way. I'm always looking for new material.
