Some of us work in places where the level of funniness that will get you sent to HR is less than that required to entertain one's colleagues. By rather a large margin, it turned out.
Any good jokes ... ?

Many years ago, a colleague sent a cheeky message to another colleague he knew well using the messaging system that was available on Windows NT back in the day. The problem was that he somehow managed to send it to everyone in the entire company. "Hi, you big B*******" is not a good way to address the managing director. He got the bullet for it, immediate dismissal for gross misconduct.
It is for that reason I am always very careful about what I put in any internal email or Teams message at work.
Good manners and respect for the dead prevent me from commenting on sub contents.

I saw a bird getting a worm at 3:07 this afternoon. Feel free to sleep in, people.

The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese
I've always thought of it as 'First person gets the face full of cobwebs' 🕸

That was always the case, when I used to run through the woods, & along the river-bank to work, for an early-turn
Same here when I walk to the far end of the garden to feed the birds!

Doesn’t work out too great for the early worm either.
