Aprons With Funny Sayings
Aprons have long been known to be functional, but today you might say that some aprons put the “fun” in “functional.” Many people have taken to collecting these funny aprons.
Aprons with funny sayings, or humorous cartoons on the bib, can really liven up an event. One such event is the infamous company picnic. Most of us have been forced to attend the awful company picnic, where everyone brings their spouse and makes mundane chit-chat with their supervisor. If there any possible way to make these company picnics less excruciating?
One truly great idea is to lighten the mood with an apron. Whoever is doing the grilling usually wears one anyway, to protect his or her clothing. It seems that somehow the “boss” always takes over the grill at some point, so this is the perfect opportunity. It’s one thing if the office clown sports a humorous apron, but a completely different one if you can get the boss to wear one. When the boss can laugh at himself, all the employees seem to just relax and begin to enjoy themselves.
While it doesn’t usually work to overtly “tell” the boss what to wear, giving him a gift the day of the picnic nearly always works. Coordinate with other employees in the office in advance of the picnic, and let them know of the plan to present the boss with the funny apron at the picnic. One person can foot the bill, or everyone can chip in, but either way it is most effective to present the apron wrapped ina box with a bow, and say that it is a gift from the entire office. In the spirit of fun, the boss will nearly always put it on right away to let everyone see.
Make sure the apron has some kind of funny saying on the front, but be very careful not to offend anyone, as this can completely ruin the desired effect. Stay away from political or religious messages, and under no circumstances is an insult considered funny when given to the boss! Stick with something humorous, yet benign, and the party should be off and rolling in no time.
