In a lawyers office was a stuffed and mounted fish. A plaque on the case read:-
"If I had kept my mouth shut, I would not be here."
In a book by Michael Connelly.

I have seen this one and promise you it is true:- 
An accountant at a firm I worked for had a poster on the wall of his office, asking
"Do you want my honest opinion or my professional advice?" 

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

That there - all the time at work. It's conflicting at times. I sometimes have to tell my customer that the company's opinion and mine might diverge somewhat....

Another one from the internet. I have just copied it and had no input into it:-

Some English do not Think,
they "fink."
Some Irish do not Think,
they "tink."
Some Germans do not Think,
they "sink."
Some Americans do not Think.

my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

No Morris, It's most Americans do not think.

They do, they think about where they can get the information, think about reading it, and then think the instructions weren't clear enough when things don't work . . . 

Apologies to any American contributors; simply an opinion formed from the Americans I have dealt with to date.

A chalked sign outside a shop in the town of Inverloch:-

I am not saying I am good looking but every time I undress in the bathroom, l turn the shower on. 

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

I like that one, Paul,
but I did not get it until I scrolled up to see the cartoon.
