Books "You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank."

Posted by on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 4:37 PM

Bookninja points out that if you go to this page of the Avery paper products website, you'll find this package of labels:

Wait, let's close in on that package for a second. What does that label say?

Oh man. Some 18-to-35-year old white male who works for the package design department of Avery is so getting fired.

Would have been funnier if the name were Gen. Jack D. Ripper.

Why would he be fired? Maybe now someone will actually buy them, if only to show their moron friends. LOOOOK DUDE.

On the other hand, using Tyler Durden's name on a product that promises high visibility is kind of pleasing.

I always heard that Palahniuk got the name from the package of labels, not the other way around.

Plus I've seen references to this dating back to 2004 in a quick Google search.
