Working at Crikey is dangerous – PROOF!

Snapped this photo in our office today to show that journalism can be a risk to life and limb. We at Crikey are AT THE FRONTLINE!

    Crikey office: a war zone littered with such terrifying dangers as hand towel dispensers, orange cream biscuits and the piercing shrieks of Jonathon’s school girl giggles.

    You think that’s dangerous, try having to wash First Dog. Take it from me dogs don’t always go wacko for smackos.

    That’s why the subscription cost is what it is. Your insurance premiums must be astronomical.

    Look out for papercuts, particularly from the paper sign on the hand-towel dispenser. Cunningly placed so that in order to check that it is not a spoof or someone’s idea of a sick joke you have to grab the paper, lift it up and then it strikes. I know, its happened to me before. Airblowers are good but you have to watch out that some fool hasn’t put a sign on it that says “This airblower is dangeous etc etc” – then you have to watch out for electric shocks (from the airblower) and papercuts.
    I’m glad I don’t work in an office, they sound like dangerous places full or mean people. All I have to worry about is something falling from the sky onto my head…or being bitten by antlions

    Our dogs go whacko for snackos – but they’ll also go wacko for anything that passes as food – like kangaroo sh*t, discarded nappies (really, really BAD!) and dead cows

    Jonathon Green: Ah! But do you eat orange cream bikkies? Therein lies the proof of your giggling.

    Did we ever discover……1) Does Jonathan Green really giggle? 2) Does he eat chocolate cream biscuits?
