Man in cartoon takes canary to work to test air quality and gas in his cubicle

Take a Canary to Work Day should be every day.

Canary owners or mine workers will understand this cartoon, if not cubicle workers. 🙂

You’ve heard the expression, a canary in the coal mine? Canaries have been used for decades to test the air quality of  mines — canaries are more sensitive to gas such as carbon monoxide, and quickly succumb. IF you are stupid or evil and don’t get out of there with your canary, quickly enough, you will die, too! The Dept of Labor even talks about them!

NEVER keep your bird in a cage this small!!!

Of course, they can also be useful for people who work too near to people who have digestive difficulties and stomach problems. Think of it as testing for gas in the workplace. Sometimes you need a warning.

Here’s how to buy this or any Business cartoon for powerpoint, advertising, newsletters, blogs, textbooks, air quality control, office management, etc.

ID #2809G      Cartoon caption, husband to wife: You wouldn’t understand. It’s a cubicle thing. (man comes home from work carrying a canary in a cage)
