With pay cuts the current standard and pay raises a distant memory, companies are pushing the envelope to find low cost ways to bolster morale and show appreciation to employees. Gumby epitomizes the new found flexibility of the working guy.Gumby is the new face of "Recessionary Economics," Theme #253 . He bends at will with a smile permanently plastered on his face.
"Oh, oh, Prickle....we're in a pickle!"--Gumby
Who does that remind me of, oh now I remember, but I better not say she may get embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteI have a photo up of gumby this week, too. I just posted it. I was just testing my light box, but it's the same Gumby!!
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the theme! (Good to have humor for such a somber subject.)
ReplyDeleteI remember Gumby and Pokey figures with moveable limbs when I was a kid. (And I'm NOT saying how long ago that was!)
Gumby said what retirement fund. My 401 is now called a POINT 101. Great take on this theme. Love the shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun photo for the theme! I can appreciate your comments about hearing Gumby waving goodbye to your retirement fund...I think we'll all be working a few more years...
ReplyDeleteToo fun (but Gumby didn't bring Pokey!)
ReplyDeleteLet's see... Gumby or a raise ... difficult choice. Just like mangement.
ReplyDeleteWell he and your story certainly improved my moral - made me chuckle! I'll never see Gumby the same way again.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Hope Gumby can help to improve the economy!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised to find Gumby featured on two blogs I visited today! Maybe Pokey will show up somewhere tomorrow....
ReplyDeleteA fun story and a great take on the theme.
