I Made a Bomb at Work

KNOW THE WORK RULES APPROPRIATE i made a bomb AWWW,YOU'RE SWEET. INAPPROPRIATE i made a bomb HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!

A two-panel office comic contrasts a well-dressed man resembling J. Robert Oppenheimer cheerfully saying “i made a bomb” with a scruffy man resembling Ted Kaczynski saying the same thing. The first statement is treated as sweet, while the second alarms the employee enough to call Human Resources. The joke is about how appearance and social context change the reaction to identical words, making it useful as an absurd reaction meme about double standards.
