1 Shakespeare: Why do you have a skull on your desk, anyway?

4 Shakespeare: Remind me never to stress you out.

Over the years at my work the staff have been given a few foam rubber stress toys as little trinkets. I have one in the shape of a camera, believe it or not.

And it's interesting how many of these toys end up ripped to bits or otherwise suffering the slings and arrows of obvious aggression.

I guess it's better to rip apart a foam toy than a co-worker.
