Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 20, 2020

Elv-es Presley?

At my last job I was given a red stapler……….

He’s a wrap artist.

Music is like candy. You should throw away the (w)rappers.

I don’t know enough of the genre for potential complete playlist but here goes: Run DMChristmas, Ice Cube, Kanye Kane West…

Two elves questioning Ralph on his purpose here…..LOL

Tell them Ralph! …..you are the smart guy, handing out advice….

He looks like he’s about to have a postal episode.

He’s the “#8 Santa”? Is that in a historical sense? Santa VIII, like George III? Are they ranked? Do they divide up territory?

Is he channeling Mr. Mackie?

It appears Dave’s reference to Office Space is lost on readers this morning.

“So, we set up an algorithm that subtracts a nickel from every kid’s Christmas gift and transfers it to our account. Nobody will notice.”

“You’ve also missed a lot of Elf Work lately.” “Aw, I wouldn’t say I actually missed it!”

Some kind of cultural reference?

I stopped in to American Eagle to purchase some gift certificates, other than the clerks I was the only customer.. And the volume of “Christmas??” music was almost unbearable. I spent my working life in noisy environments and hearing protection was mandated for levels… way less than what these employees had to endure. My exposure was brief and the ringing dissipated within an hour.. pity the worker stuck for a full shift.

Pretty much says it all - murder, death, kill. P.S. Don’t show this to your little ones. Ed.

Kewl. Even has the red Swingline Stapler

… And don’t touch my red Swingline stapler.

Anybody know what happened to the fax machine?

Did hip hop later become rap or are they two different types of (I use the word loosely) music.

???

LOVE!!! :D

One of the greatest movies of all time.

And if you never had one of the older Swingline staplers you haven’t lived.

Love Office Space!
