Hahaha! I laugh out loud just thinking about this video. I use it in my change management class to illustrate to students that change is a perpetual and constant process, that it can be fun to examine in a humorous light, and that it serves an educational purpose to study the topic. Let me know what y’all think!

Hi Charla, I’ve seen that I laugh every time. Here is an English version and although it looks the same, it has a few other funny Help Desk puns at the beginning in it that we can all relate to! Thanks for the Friday laugh. Take care, Margie

Old, but still some good poems like this one:
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Dang it! Sorry for so many posts today. I just realized that I did not read the directions correctly and my first post did not address the comment requirements. My favorite past Fried Friday post was “Happy Thanksgiving Everyone” on 11/26. Why? Because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jimmy Fallon. He is hysterical. I also love clever Top 10 lists. Ode to David Letterman, maybe? In any event, this was a pithy post that hit the mark.
P.S. This is my all-time favorite Jimmy Fallon clip ever which involves lip syncying with Emma Stone… it has 37M views and some small percent of those is from me:
I looked at the fun videos. Music was fun anyway.
