Disney is reportedly laying off a few hundred employees across multiple departments at the entertainment giant.

Pixar is getting hammered as well.

They paid too much for Pixar but say it was the best investment ever.

Is it evil to have a sense of schadenfreude about HR being part of the downsizing?? Asking for a friend…

The people going to parks and taking cruises are part of the nostalgia brigade. They are dying off rapidly.

An oldie but a goody:

Mickey Mouse is in divorce court, waiting to divorce Minnie.

The judge says “Mr. Mouse, I understand you want a divorce from your wife, Minnie, on the grounds of insanity.”

Mickey says “no your honor, that’s not what I said. “

“Mr. Mouse, it says RIGHT HERE that you are looking for a divorce because your wife is crazy!”

“I didn’t say she was crazy your honor, I said she was f______ Goofy!”
