Doodles.

According to new scientific research it seems that, rather then being a sign of a lazy mind, doodling may rather be an aid to mental concentration and that firms should encourage their staff to doodle.

This may be all well and good but what happens if your boss decides to submit your doodles to a doodle expert who interprets your efforts as a sign that you are totally unsuitable forthe job you are currently doing and you find yourself reallocated to some task of extreme unpleasentness, or in the worst case scenario, 'downsized' out of the door altogether.

The best advice might be to doodle to your hearts content, but shred it afterwards.
