A Midday Lunch of 27 Brown-Bagged Funnies to Get You Through the Workday (October 6, 2025)

Nothing inspires the burnt-out workforce quite like payday. The promise of fresh money hitting our bank account sounds a lot like we've won the jackpot, and despite knowing that most of that cash will go to our bills, for a brief moment, every overworked employee realizes the price of their daily woes. Money has a funny way of speaking to us like that, whispering on our most tired days to keep going and to keep pushing.

Overworked and underpaid workers usually dream of the day they no longer have to clock in, and believe me, if we didn't have to work to get that salary check every month, we wouldn't. Dreaming of an early retirement on our lunch break, sometimes it pays to revel in the future of what could be, wondering how we'll spend our retired years. For me, you better believe I'll find myself a beach, a good coffee spot, and a place to nap in the sun, because that's the heavenly future that money CAN buy.

So in the meantime, we may all be slogging at work, dragging our feet after the morning alarm, but perhaps one day—one beautiful, glorious day—we'll all find our beach… And it won't be managed by suited buffoons, it won't have fluorescent lighting, and we'll never have to look at an Excel sheet again.
